Singapore Parliamentary Election Expenses Returns

1 ANSWERS

1. Singapore Guide
   

   The election agents of all candidates who contested in a Singapore General Election must submit a declaration and a return of election expenses to the Returning Officer within 31 days of the day on which the result of the election is published in the Gazette. Where an election agent authorises the candidate’s political party or an authorised officer of the party to incur election expenses or make payments for the purpose of the candidate’s election, that party or authorised officer is required to submit a statement, together with all relevant bills and receipts, showing the particulars of payment to the election agent concerned. Such payments must be reported in the candidate’s individual return by his election agent. For Group Representation Constituency (GRC) candidates whose election agents have appointed each other as sub-agents to incur expenses for more than one candidates in the group, the principal election agent of the group has to file a declaration and consolidated return of election expenses incurred by the sub-agents, showing the payments made by the sub-agents on behalf of the candidates and the amount of those payments apportioned to each candidate. Such apportioned amounts must be reported by the candidates’ election agents in their individual returns.
