2Nd EU Referendum Pre Poll Summary

Donations and loans received by campaigners in the Referendum Second pre-poll report: 22 April 2016 to 12 May 2016

Under the Political Parties, Elections and Referendum Act 2000 as amended by the European Union Referendum Act 2015, donations received and loans entered into by registered campaigners, and those who later become registered, must be recorded and reported on a regular basis before and after the date of the poll.

Registered campaigners, excluding political parties who report their donations on a quarterly basis, must complete and submit four pre-poll reports.

These cover all donations received and loans entered into over £7,500 during each reporting period.
