ELECTORAL LAW ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1962 - SECT 47

Declarations as to expenses at a parliamentary election.

47.(1) The return transmitted under sub-section (1) of section forty-six shall
be accompanied by a declaration made by the election agent before a justice of
the peace in the form numbered 5 in the Tenth Schedule.

(2) At the same time that the election agent transmits the said return, or
within seven days afterwards, the candidate shall transmit or cause to be
transmitted to the returning officer a declaration made by him before a
justice of the peace in the form numbered 5 in the Tenth Schedule:

Provided that where the candidate is out of the United Kingdom when the return
is so transmitted, the declaration required by this sub-section may be made by
him within fourteen days after his return to the United Kingdom, and in that
case shall be forthwith transmitted to the returning officer, but the delay
hereby authorised in making the declaration shall not exonerate the election
agent from complying with the provisions of this Act as to the return and
declaration as to election expenses.

(3) Where the candidate is his own election agent, the declaration by an
election agent as to election expenses need not be made and the declaration by
the candidate as to election expenses shall be modified as specified in the
form in the said Schedule.
