Candidates are not allowed to spend more than €20,000 for every district they contest. The electoral commission reminded candidates that they have until Monday 2nd May to submit their reports. 

“Whosoever fails to submit such report or submits it late would be breaching the provisions in regulations 41 to 52 of the Fourteenth Schedule in the General Elections Act (Cap. 354) and would be liable to the stipulated consequences,” the commission said.
