Return of Electoral Donations and Expenses

The return is required to be submitted to the Electoral Officer by Friday 9 December 2016, which is 55 days after the declaration of the final results were made.
Copies of completed returns are required to be published so that they are available for public scrutiny and continue to be publicly available for a period of 7 years.
