LNP – EC issues ultimatum to candidates over expense reports

The Election Commission has announced that all candidates must submit their income and expenditure reports by December 6, with the deadline set at midnight.

According to the Commission, this includes the candidates on the National Lists, secretaries of the parties and the leaders of the independent groups.

“The failure to meet the deadline (December 06 at 12 midnight) will constitute a breach of the Regulation of Election Expenditure Act, with violators facing legal consequences,” it warned.

”These reports should be prepared separately for each district where candidates contested and submitted to the respective District Returning Officers,” the commission said.

The commission said in order to streamline the process, special units have been established in all districts to accept these submissions. “These units will operate until 6:00 p.m. on regular working days and extend their hours to midnight on December 6,” it added.
