(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations, which apply in Northern Ireland only, amend the European Parliamentary Elections (Northern Ireland) Regulations 1986. They increase the maximum amount of a candidate's election expenses at a European Parliamentary election. The maximum amount of a candidate's election expenses is made up of a fixed sum (expressed in pounds) plus a sum expressed in pence (and fractions of pence) for each entry in the register of electors.
These Regulations also increase from £750 to £1,000 the sum which must be deposited with the returning officer by or on behalf of a candidate at a European Parliamentary election. A person cannot be validly nominated as a candidate at such an election unless this deposit has been made.
1978 c. 10; the citation of this Act has been amended by section 3(1)(b) and (2)(b) of the European Communities (Amendment) Act 1986 (c. 58) on the coming into force of the Single European Act (Cmnd. 9758) on 1st July 1987.
S.I. 1986/2250; the citation of this instrument has been amended by the provisions referred to in the first footnote to these Regulations.
Rule 9 was amended by section 13(a) of the Representation of the People Act 1985 (c. 50).
