Declaration form – IPSA-funded resources

Public funding cannot be used for electoral campaigning.

IPSA and the Electoral Commission have agreed that each candidate in the 4 July 2024 General Election who was an MP before the date of dissolution must complete a Declaration Form to confirm whether any IPSA funding was used for campaigning.

You can download the Declaration Form and learn how to calculate the rent and other services to repay.

This declaration applies to MPs who have stood down, lost their seats, or were returned.

You must complete the declaration irrespective of whether:

• you campaigned for yourself or others, or

• you did not campaign

To calculate the annual cost of rent:

• divide the annual cost of rent by 365

• multiply it by the number of days used for campaigning

To calculate the percentage of services (including utilities) for campaigning:

• divide the annual cost by 365

• multiply it by the number of days used for campaigning

• multiply it by the percentage used
