c Election Address Booklet

20 The regulations make provision for candidates to be entitled to include a short election address in a single election address booklet to be issued by the returning officer to every local elector.

21 The returning officer may require candidates to provide a contribution towards the costs of printing the election address booklet. The amount must be the same for each candidate including their address in the booklet. Any funds greater than the cost of printing the booklet must be returned equally to those who have contributed.
The net contribution made to the cost of printing the booklet by a candidate counts towards their election expenditure.

22 The returning officer may deliver the booklet in the manner that he or she believes most appropriate. The cost of delivering the booklet is met by the local authority and not included in the candidate's costs.
