About us
Formed originally by Fair Vote UK, Stephen Kinnock MP, and the Electoral Reform Society, the work of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Electoral Campaigning Transparency will be limited to issues that fall within the scope of the Electoral Commission’s three themes:
Transparency (digital and traditional);
Deterrence (How we can ensure the Electoral Commission has the level of armoury needed to deter and, if necessary, penalise adequately).
Monitoring (How do we ensure there is a process/mechanism to review whether digital campaigning laws are up-to-date and can be reformed immediately when needed).
