420. At a by-election, the official representative of the party authority at the level of the electoral division where the election is being held or, where the party has no authorized party authority, the party’s official representative may, so long as no candidate of the party has filed his nomination paper and before the expiry of the period prescribed for the filing of nomination papers, authorize election expenses.
If the party presents no candidate, the official representative shall include, in his annual financial report, all expenses he has so authorized. In the opposite case, the expenses are deemed to have been incurred by the official agent of the candidate of such party and the official representative shall file an itemized statement with him.
If the expenses incurred under this section include publicity, they shall be identified by the name and title of the official representative of the party authority, the official representative of the party or the official agent of the candidate, as applicable, and by the name of the printer, where that is the case.
