Non-party campaigning guidance — Communities Channel Scotland

Some individuals and organisations campaign in the run up to elections but do not stand as political parties or candidates. These individuals and organisations are sometimes described as non-party campaigners. In electoral law they are called third parties.

There are rules non-party campaigners must follow on campaign spending, donations and reporting. The Electoral Commission, who regulates these rules, has produced guidance about what non-party campaigners need to consider.
