The Electoral Commission's guidance page "What is a non-party campaigner?" explicitly states that at UK Parliamentary general elections (UKPGEs), local campaigns are covered by the Representation of the People Act 1983 (RPA), under which local campaigns are subject to a spending limit of £700 on campaigning for or against one or more candidates in a constituency. This confirms the core assertion of the claim. Important qualifications: 1. The £700 limit specifically applies to UK Parliamentary general elections. Different election types have different spending limits (e.g., local government elections in Scotland use a formula of £50 + 0.5 pence per elector). 2. The limit was raised from £500 to £700, consistent with amendments under the Elections Act 2022. 3. The Electoral Commission itself does not regulate local campaigning — complaints about breaches should go to the police. The claim accurately reflects the Electoral Commission's guidance for UK Parliamentary general elections, which is the relevant context. The claim does not misrepresent the guidance.
