Published 8 June 2020
The Committee on Standards in Public Life (CSPL) is undertaking a review of electoral regulation in the UK.
The Electoral Commission was established by the Political Parties, Elections and Referendums Act 2000 (PPERA), following recommendations made by the CSPL in our report, The Funding of Political Parties in the United Kingdom,1998.
The CSPL reviewed the Electoral Commission in 2007. Since that time, digital campaigning has transformed the way in which parties and campaigners engage with voters, creating challenges for the regulation of election and referendum campaigns.
With the Electoral Commission approaching its twentieth anniversary, the CSPL believes the time is right to return its focus to the regulator. The review will focus on an important aspect of the Electoral Commission’s role - the regulation of donations and campaign expenditure by political parties and non-party campaigners under PPERA. It will also consider how this interacts with the separate regime under the Representation of People Act 1983 (RPA) for the regulation of candidate expenditure. The review will look at what the regulation of election finance should achieve and how it is regulated.
The successful regulation of the money that is spent to influence the outcome of elections in the UK is vital to public confidence in the operation of our democracy.
