Electoral Commission: Sam Younger Question 4

Dear Sam Younger

Should election accounts be published in local press?

As a recommendation for best practice?

Many local and regional papers don't even seem to understand that the paperwork is available for inspection and that copies may be obtained.

At the moment of course accounts are available on request. But few citizens know about this.

Best wishes

Labour of Love
