Foreword

This report is the first time that the UK

Government has published in detail the

costs of a set of national elections and

precisely what each of these costs were

It is important to a healthy democracy that

elections operate transparently and

accountably This includes showing to

voters how their money has been spent to

deliver them The report sets out these

details in full and we are also publishing the

complete dataset to allow anyone with an

interest to interrogate the numbers for

themselves

In publishing these data we also hope to

facilitate greater sharing of best practice

between returning officers to encourage the

efficient and effective delivery of elections It

is crucial that our elections are funded

properly so that they can be run fairly and

securely to deliver accurate and trusted

results but we must also seek to ensure

that public money is utilised in as cost-

effective a manner as possible

These elections were the first to be run

under our new funding model and we have

seen a considerable improvement in the

accuracy of our funding allocations This

allowed us to request less money in real

terms from the Treasury while still providing

the necessary resources to returning

officers

We will be undertaking further work to

review these arrangements in advance of

the next set of national polls This will help

us to make sure that we continue to provide

appropriate levels of funding whilst also

driving better value for money

We are extremely grateful for the hard work

and expertise of returning officers and their

electoral services teams across the UK

This information helps to put into context

the enormity of the challenge that they face

in delivering a national poll a challenge that

they continue to meet successfully

We hope that this information will be of use

to all those who work on the administration

of national elections and also that it will

prove informative to the wider public


Summary

The total paid from the UK

Governmentrsquos Consolidated

Fund for the costs of the May

2014 European Parliamentary

elections was pound108689344

This total includes the costs for all aspects

of the conduct of the poll that were met from

the Consolidated Fund including the

distribution of poll cards operation of polling

stations provision of postal votes the

count and the fees paid to returning officers

for their services in delivering the elections

It also includes the cost of the delivery of

candidatesrsquo election leaflets (lsquomailingsrsquo)

It does not include costs not met from the

Consolidated Fund or the costs of electoral

registration

The funding was administered by the

Cabinet Office the Scotland Office and the

Northern Ireland Office

This is the first time that the Government

has published a report on the cost of a

national poll including releasing the full

data on how this money was spent This

follows a report published by the Electoral

Commission in December 2012 on the cost

of the 2011 Referendum on the UK

Parliamentary Voting System1

Key Facts

The total cost of the conduct of the elections

is broken down as follows

pound25 million for returning officersrsquo services

pound656 million for returning officersrsquo expenses and

pound406 million for candidate mailings

In addition pound330816 was paid back into the Consolidated Fund in forfeited candidate deposits

The elections took place in 12 electoral constituencies across all of the UK and Gibraltar At the election

465 million people were registered and eligible to vote of whom

72 million were registered to vote by post and

165 million cast a vote

The elections were conducted by

11 Regional Returning Officers

381 Local Returning Officers and

the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland

Introduction

About the elections

On 22 May 2014 elections were held across

the UK and Gibraltar to return 73 Members

of the European Parliament (MEPs)

MEPs were elected in 11 electoral

constituencies in Great Britain and Gibraltar

using the party-list proportional

representation system and in one electoral

constituency in Northern Ireland using the

single transferable vote system

In Great Britain and Gibraltar each electoral

constituency was presided over by a

Returning Officer (typically referred to as a

Regional Returning Officer)2 The Regional

Returning Officers were responsible for

publishing notice of the election

the conduct of the nomination process

collation of results within their constituency

determining the allocation of seats and

the declaration of the result

These electoral constituencies were then

subdivided into 381 smaller local counting

areas each presided over by a Local

Returning Officer

The local counting areas were Gibraltar and

the principal area local authorities of Great

Britain

Local Returning Officers were responsible

for

the conduct of the poll in their area

the printing of ballot papers

the issue and receipt of postal ballot papers

the verification of the ballot paper accounts and

the counting of the votes given in their area

In Northern Ireland the electoral

constituency was not subdivided into local

counting areas The Chief Electoral Officer

for Northern Ireland is the returning officer

for all elections in Northern Ireland and so

held responsibilities equivalent to both a

Regional Returning Officer and a Local

Returning Officer for these elections

The counts for these elections did not take

place immediately following the close of

polls as is the case with UK Parliamentary

General Elections Instead the verification

of ballot papers took place on the day after

the close of polls while the counting of

votes took place on 25 May in Great Britain

and 26 May in Northern Ireland to follow the

close of polls across all EU member states

In total 165 million people in the UK cast a

vote in the elections out of 465 million on

the electoral register a turnout of 356

2 The term lsquoreturning officersrsquo is used to refer to both Regional Returning Officers and Local Returning Officers

About this report

The purpose of this report is to provide

greater transparency to the public on the

cost of running UK-wide elections This

includes making available the underlying

dataset in an open and accessible manner

The first section of the report sets out how

elections are funded including the

legislative framework governing election

funding and the administration of that

funding The second section of the report

sets out the cost of the elections according

to the various types of expenditure

Further data including a breakdown of

costs by local authority by European

constituency and with comparisons to

electorate and turnout are appended to the

report

The report does not seek to review or make

recommendations about how the elections

were funded or administered or the level of

funding provided

The complete dataset underpinning this

report has been published concurrently on


Other information about the

elections

In July 2014 the Electoral Commission

published a report on the administration of

the 2014 European Parliamentary

elections3

Following this it published a second report

on campaign spending in December 20144

Both of these reports are available on the

Electoral Commissionrsquos website at

wwwelectoralcommissionorguk

The Electoral Commission also publishes a

series of electoral data and detailed

information on campaign expenditure and

donations to political parties and registered

campaign groups

Candidate spending returns which record

expenditure by individual candidates were

available on request from the relevant

Regional Returning Officer for a period of

one year after the election

Full details of the results of the 2014

European Elections are available from the

9 | The Cost of the 2014 European Parliamentary Elections

How are elections funded

Sources of funding

UK-wide elections

The costs of conducting UK-wide elections are paid for by the UK Government from the Consolidated Fund This resourcing is the responsibility of the Cabinet Office Scotland Office and Northern Ireland Office and is subject to approval by HM Treasury

This applies to the elections of

Members of the European Parliament Members of Parliament and Police and Crime Commissioners

The funding is accounted for by the relevant government departments Each department produces and publishes an annual statement of accounts for the expenditure incurred within the given financial year

UK-wide referendums

Referendums held across the UK on

national issues are funded in broadly the

same manner as UK-wide elections As with

elections the delivery of the poll is funded

from the Consolidated Fund and the

amounts allocated to counting officers are

determined by the UK Government

However beginning with the Referendum

on the UK Parliamentary Voting System in

2011 national referendums are run by the

Chair of the Electoral Commission (or

someone nominated by the Chair) who also

takes on responsibility for administering and

accounting for the funding

In addition to resources provided from the

Consolidated Fund costs incurred by the

Electoral Commission in conducting a

referendum (including its own running costs

and payments to the official campaigns) are

funded through its annual Estimate which is

approved by Parliament

Further information can be found in the

Electoral Commissionrsquos report on the costs


Parliamentary Voting System

Devolved elections and local polls

The costs of conducting elections to

devolved legislatures and local government

and referendums on issues that are not UK-

wide are not funded directly by the UK

Government The responsibility for

resourcing these polls falls to the relevant

devolved administration or local authority

Electoral registration and absent voting

The costs of maintaining the electoral

register including the annual canvass and

the registration process for absent voting

are legally distinct from the administration of

elections and are resourced by the relevant

local authority in Great Britain In Northern

Ireland the cost of registration is borne by

the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland with

funding from the Northern Ireland Office

How are Elections Funded | 10

The legislative framework

Under regulation 15 of the European

Parliamentary Elections Regulations 2004

as amended by the European Parliamentary

Elections (Amendment) Regulations 2009 a

returning officer at a European

Parliamentary election in England Wales

Scotland or Gibraltar is entitled to recover

charges in respect of his or her services

rendered and expenses incurred in

conducting the poll This legislation requires

that these charges are to be paid from the

Consolidated Fund6

Regulation 16 of the European

Parliamentary Elections (Northern Ireland)

Regulations 2004 makes the same

provision for the returning officer for

Northern Ireland7

Charges Orders

The maximum recoverable amounts that

Regional Returning Officers and Local

Returning Officers can claim for their

services and expenses in relation to

European Parliamentary elections are set

out in statutory instruments called Charges

Orders

For the 2014 European Parliamentary

elections these were The European

Parliamentary Elections (Returning Officersrsquo

and Local Returning Officersrsquo Charges)

(Great Britain and Gibraltar) Order 20148

which was made on 13 February 2014 and

has effect in England Wales Scotland and

Gibraltar and The European Parliamentary

Elections (Returning Officerrsquos Charges)

(Northern Ireland) Order 20149 which was

made on 20 March 2014 and has effect in

Northern Ireland

In addition to setting the maximum

recoverable amounts these Charges

Orders specify the types of expenses that


Returning Officers can claim such as for

printing of ballot papers and undertaking the

count process Expenditure that Regional

Returning Officers and Local Returning

Officers incur must be necessary for the

efficient and effective conduct of the poll

Candidates mailings

Under regulation 63 of The European


candidates at UK and European

Parliamentary elections are entitled to have

one election address (typically called

lsquomailingsrsquo) delivered at public expense to

either each named elector or each

household This is essentially a paper

leaflet setting out the candidate or partyrsquos

policies It is at the discretion of the

candidate whether the mailing is sent to

each elector or to each household and the

candidate is responsible for funding the cost

of producing the leaflet

The main purpose of allowing candidates to

have one communication delivered free of

charge is to provide a facility to inform the

electorate of the policies of standing

candidates andor parties and to help them

to make informed choices when casting

their vote

As the universal service provider Royal

Mail has the contract for the delivery of

candidate mailings and is paid for providing

this service under the terms of a service

level agreement with the Cabinet Office

Administration of the funding

In advance of a UK Parliamentary General

Election European Parliamentary elections

the Cabinet Office calculates the level of

funding necessary for their effective conduct

in Great Britain (and Gibraltar for European

elections) and the Northern Ireland Office

calculates the level of funding necessary for

their effective conduct in Northern Ireland

This includes determining the amounts to

allocate to each returning officer for their

services and expenses and the expected

cost for the delivery of candidate mailings

The Cabinet Office and Northern Ireland

Office then agree the projected costs with

HM Treasury so that funds can be made

available from the Consolidated Fund once

the relevant Charges Orders has been

made by the appropriate Ministers

Following the final settlement of all

expenditure incurred in respect of the

elections any funds remaining are returned

to the Consolidated Fund

Returning officersrsquo services and

expenses ndash England and Wales

Prior to the election the Cabinet Office pays

an initial advance to each returning officer

of up to 75 of the allocation set out in

legislation Returning officers can

subsequently request further payments for

instance to cover invoices that need to be

paid urgently up to a maximum of 90

Each returning officer with the support of

their electoral services team is responsible

for delivering the election within their

funding allocation This necessarily means

careful planning of how best to use the

funding to ensure the election is run

efficiently and effectively whilst also giving

due consideration to value for money

Following the election returning officers are

required to submit a statement of accounts

showing the actual costs incurred in running

the poll

The accounts are then subjected to a

scrutiny process Once this is complete

where the costs incurred are in excess of

the advance the Cabinet Office pays the

returning officer the balance

Should an advance exceed the total costs

incurred the returning officer must return

the excess funds

In cases where the total cost of a claim

exceeds the maximum recoverable amount

allocated the relevant Minister has the

discretion to pay the additional expenses if

the returning officer can provide evidence

that the expenditure was necessary and

reasonable for the effective and efficient

conduct of the poll

Funding review

The Cabinet Office undertook a wide-

ranging review of the elections funding

model used for national polls in 2013-14

This involved extensive consultation with

stakeholders and led to a number of

significant changes These included

a new methodology for calculating funding allocations to returning officers

a more flexible and proportionate approach to scrutiny and

a reduced deadline for returning officers to submit their expenses claims


The changes came into effect at the 2014

European Parliamentary elections

The new approach takes the actual settled

expenditure at the previous poll of the same

type (in this case the 2009 European

Parliamentary elections) and adjusts it for

price inflation electorate size registered

postal voters and combination to create a

more accurate estimate of expected cost

The new scrutiny approach sought to

reduce the administrative burden on

returning officers while maintaining

sufficient assurance over the regularity of

claimed expenditure

Three levels of scrutiny were introduced

each requiring a different level of supporting

documentation to be provided with a claim

Returning officers are assigned a scrutiny

category through a combination of risk-

based and random allocation

Where a returning officer claims for more

than their maximum recoverable amount

their claim is automatically moved to the

highest scrutiny category

The Elections Claims Unit

The Elections Claims Unit (ECU) is a team

within government that is responsible for the

administration of the scrutiny process and

settlement of claims

At the time of the 2014 European

Parliamentary Elections this function was

part of the Department for Communities and

Local Government (DCLG) but in April

2016 it transferred to the Cabinet Office

Returning officers submit their election

claims to the ECU The ECU is then

responsible for checking that costs have

been accounted for correctly that the

necessary supporting evidence has been

supplied and that the items claimed are

reimbursable

As part of this process the ECU may

request additional information or evidence

from the returning officer and query items of

expenditure

Once a claim has been scrutinised and all

queries have been resolved the ECU is

responsible for authorising the payment of

the remaining balance to the returning

officer


expenses ndash Scotland

The Scotland Office administers funding to

returning officers in Scotland according to

the same model that is used by the Cabinet

Office in England and Wales

This includes following the same process

for payment of advances submission of

accounts by returning officers scrutiny of

their expenditure and payment of the final

settlements

The Scotland Office does not operate a

dedicated election claims unit and scrutiny

of returning officersrsquo claims is therefore

carried out by its finance department

Returning officersrsquo expenses ndash Northern

Ireland

Prior to the election the Northern Ireland

Office makes available to the Chief

Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland the

allocation for Northern Ireland that is set out

in legislation Funding is drawn down by the

Chief Electoral Officer as necessary

The Chief Electoral Officer with the support

of the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland

is responsible for delivering the election


efficiently and effectively within the Northern

Ireland funding allocation

The Chief Electoral Officer presents their

Returning Officerrsquos Expenses to the

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland on

an annual basis and the report is laid before

Parliament The Returning Officerrsquos

Expenses are certified by the Comptroller

and Auditor General

Costs met centrally

Some elements of the costs of conducting

an election are not incurred by returning

officers and can be paid for centrally from

resources drawn from the Consolidated

Fund

In such instances the Cabinet Office will

typically agree a service level agreement

with the service provider

An example of this approach is the

centralised funding of postal vote lsquosweepsrsquo

which occurs at some polls

In addition the cost of delivering candidate

mailings are paid centrally to Royal Mail by

the government

Combination of polls

Combination of polls refers to the practice

by which aspects of the conduct of two or

more polls are administered together where

the elections coincide

In such cases it is usually mandatory for the

combined polls to use the same polling

stations Other elements of a poll may be

voluntarily combined at the discretion of the

relevant returning officers This might

include issuing a single poll card with detail

of all the polls that have been combined or

postal ballot packs with all ballot papers in

the same envelope

There are clear benefits associated with

sharing procedures across multiple

elections It provides efficiencies to the

administration by eliminating duplication of

elements that can be shared across polls

Efficiencies in process also make

combination more cost-effective than if the

elections were run separately reducing the

overall level of funding required

Combination has also been shown to

increase turnout in instances where a poll

that traditionally experiences low turnout is

combined with a poll where turnout is

higher

It is not always the case that two polls

occurring on the same day are combined

and some types of poll cannot be combined

with one another It is however mandatory

for polls at certain elections to be combined

European Parliamentary general election

polls must be combined with the following

elections where they coincide

UK Parliamentary general elections

lsquoordinary local government electionsrsquo10

elections for an elected mayor

elections for Police and Crime Commissioners and

local governance referendums in England

It is possible for more than two polls to be

combined For instance a European

Parliamentary poll may be combined with a

district council poll and a parish council poll

10 An lsquoordinary local government electionrsquo is one that occurs according to the regular electoral cycle and not as a result of

a vacancy


In the May 2014 elections 160 out of 381 and are only permitted to claim for the

local counting areas were subject to some appropriate proportion

degree of combination including all 32

London boroughs

In circumstances where polls are subject to

combination the costs of the shared

aspects are divided equally between each

of the polls

For example where poll cards for a

European Parliamentary election are

combined with poll cards for a district

council election half of the cost of printing

and delivery will be charged to the

Consolidated Fund and half to the local

authority If the poll cards were also

combined with a parish council election a

third of the cost would be charged to the

Consolidated Fund and two thirds (a third

for the district council election and a third for

the parish council election) would be

charged to the local authority

Efficiencies introduced by combination will

often result in lower overall costs to public

funds both in respect of the Consolidated

Fund and the relevant devolved

administration or local authority

Combination of polls is factored into the

calculation of the funding allocations for

returning officers The European




specifies different maximum recoverable

amounts for counting areas that were

subject to combination and counting areas

that were not

Returning officers are required to record

clearly which costs have been combined

when submitting their accounts to the ECU


What did the elections cost

The cost to the Consolidated

Fund for the 2014 European

Parliamentary elections was

pound108689344

This consists of the payments to returning

officers for their expenses incurred and

services rendered and payments to Royal

Mail for candidate mailings

It covers all spending in England Scotland

Wales Northern Ireland and Gibraltar that

was administered by the Cabinet Office

Scotland Office and Northern Ireland Office

and paid from the Consolidated Fund

It does not include any costs incurred in

relation to the elections that were not met

from the Consolidated Fund such as

expenditure by candidates and parties on

campaigning expenditure by the Electoral

Commission or costs incurred by local

authorities administering combined polls

The chart opposite shows a breakdown of

these costs by the different categories of

expenditure

pound30636549 was spent by Local Returning

Officers on polling stations

This is composed of

accommodation staff and equipment for polling stations and

the printing of the ballot papers

The costs of purchasing equipment such as

ballot boxes and polling booths for use at

more than one election have an equal

proportion charged to each of the scheduled

polls within their usable lifespan

At the 2014 European Parliamentary

elections there were 38983 polling stations

The count

pound8437748 was spent by returning officers

on the verification and counting of votes and

collation of results

This is composed of the costs for all

aspects of the count process including

verifying that the number of ballots received does not exceed the number issued

counting the ballot papers and

collation of the results by the Regional Returning Officer to determine the result

Verification took place following the close of

polls in the UK however the counts took

place on Sunday 25 May 2014 to align with

the close of polls in all EU member states

Due to the use of the single transferable

vote system in Northern Ireland the count

took place over two days rather than one

and involved a more resource intensive

process than the rest of the UK which used

the party-list system This resulted in a

higher overall cost

Counts took place in each of the local

counting areas 16545362 ballots were

verified of which 16454665 valid votes

were counted and 90697 ballots were

rejected

for the conduct of the poll that cannot be

classified under any of the other categories

This includes items such as general

administration travel subsistence and

training which are not specifically or

exclusively related to one aspect of the poll

Returning officersrsquo services

The total amount paid to or on behalf of

returning officers for their own services in

conducting the elections was pound2542744

While the individuals are also employees of

local authorities the role of returning officer

is legally independent of the local authority

and the returning officer is personally

responsible by law for the correct conduct of

the poll They are therefore entitled to

receive a fee for the services that they

render in delivering the poll

Fee for services

The majority of the cost of returning officersrsquo

services is made up of the fee itself The

total amount paid to returning officers in

fees for their services was pound2414250

The fee for each of the Regional Returning

Officers was fixed at pound12000

The fee for Local Returning Officers was

calculated at a rate of pound475 per 10000

electors Where this amount would be less

than pound2500 they were entitled to a

minimum of pound2500 to recognise a minimum

level of work that is required regardless of

the size of the electorate

The Chief Electoral Officer for Northern

Ireland does not receive a fee

Where a poll was combined the fee for

Local Returning Officers was uplifted by

20 to take account of the added

complexity of running combined polls It is

at the discretion of the returning officer

whether they claim the whole fee part of

the fee or do not claim for it at all

30 of 392 returning officers opted not to

claim some or all of the fee

A returning officer may also opt to give a

proportion of their fee to another individual

to whom they have delegated responsibility

for an aspect of the conduct of the poll This

does not alter the maximum amount that

can be claimed

There is a provision for part or all of the fee

to be withheld on the advice of the Electoral

Commission where delivery of a poll was

not executed effectively No fees were

Regulations 2004 requires that where the

superannuation payments made by a local

increased as a result of any payment made

for returning officersrsquo services or expenses

the increase will be met from the

Consolidated Fund

Under the terms of the Local Government

Pension Scheme returning officersrsquo fees

paid in respect of European Parliamentary

elections are considered to be pensionable

Insurance and indemnity

As indicated previously returning officers

are statutorily independent of central and

local government and as a result are

personally liable for a variety of costs

These include legal costs if an election is

challenged and any public or employer

liability claims

Cabinet Office therefore provided a

comprehensive indemnity to returning

officers in Great Britain to cover public


liabilities employersrsquo liabilities liabilities

incurred in their professional role and

liabilities for personal injury in respect of

their duties at the 2014 European

Parliamentary elections

The indemnity did not cover either the Local

Returning Officer for Gibraltar who was

covered by an existing indemnity as an

employee of the Government of Gibraltar or

the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern

Ireland who was covered by an existing

Crown Indemnity

No costs were incurred or paid under these

indemnity arrangement at the 2014

suppliers by the Cabinet Office in respect of

the 2014 European Parliamentary elections

mailings was pound40556605

undertake a lsquosweeprsquo of sorting offices on

polling day to identify postal vote return

envelopes These can then be gathered

together and delivered to the returning

officer before the close of the poll so that

they can be included in the count

Although these costs are incurred under the

legislative provision for returning officersrsquo

expenses for the sake of efficiency these

costs can be paid centrally to Royal Mail on

behalf of returning officers

Postal vote lsquosweepsrsquo are not mandatory and

are conducted at the discretion of Local

The Electoral Commission is an

independent body that was established by

Parliament to regulate party and election

finance and set standards for well-run

elections

Electoral Commission necessarily incurs

costs relating to elections held within the

UK

Annual Report and Accounts each financial

year providing a comprehensive statement

of the costs of its activities The Annual

Report and Accounts for 2014-15 covers

the period of the European Parliamentary

elections

Regulation of party and election finance

As the regulator of party and election

finance the Electoral Commission is

responsible for ensuring that parties and

non-party campaigners submit complete

and accurate accounts of their spending

It also has a duty to publish details of party

and non-party campaign spending and to

investigate potential breaches of the

spending rules for parties and non-party

campaigners

The costs of these activities are met from its

operating costs which are approved by

Parliament

Public awareness activities

The Electoral Commission also has a

statutory responsibility for increasing public

awareness of UK elections This includes

undertaking activities designed to increase

participation in elections in terms of both

registration and voting which will involve

incurring costs in respect of elections

generally and specifically in relation to

these European Parliamentary elections

Campaign broadcasts

2003 requires that licensed public service

television and radio broadcasters must

carry party political broadcasts at election in

accordance with rules set by Ofcom Under

these rules party political broadcasts for

European Parliamentary elections are

carried by regional Channel 3 services and

Channel 5

party political broadcasts this does provide

a nominal benefit to the political parties The

costs of producing a broadcast are the

responsibility of the respective party
