<p>Electoral legislation sets out the process for publicising the details and amounts
of candidates’ election expenses; election expenses are made available for two years
after they are submitted.</p><br /><p>Current electoral law does not expressly require
candidates’ election expenses to be published online, but nor is this expressly excluded.</p><br
/><p>The Law Commission has raised the matter of online publication of this information
in their review of electoral law. This review is on-going and we are awaiting the
recommendations of the Law Commission before consideration is given to further legislation
in respect of this matter.</p><br /><p>The Government is therefore not persuaded of
the need to change legislation at this time.</p>
