LinkedInTotal party expenditure table - Election '08
This table records registered political parties' total limits and actual advertising spend in Election '08 across broadcasting allocation, candidate and party activities disclosed in post-election returns. The table is not directly comparable to previous elections due to a changed definition of election advertising in 2008. The table is also available for download, at right.
