In addition to focusing on the implementation of their policy, the new members of the territorial council must complete certain administrative formalities. In accordance with the law, they must submit their declaration of interest to the High Authority for the Transparency of Public Life. The outgoing president and Louis Mussington must also file an asset declaration.
In addition, the lists must file their campaign accounts with the National Commission for Campaign Accounts and Political Funding (CNCCFP) before May 27. Expenses must not exceed a ceiling imposed by law, i.e. 22 euros in Saint-Martin.
In the event of errors in the accounts, the CNCCFP seizes the Council of State which will decide on the future of the candidate head of the list.
In 2017, the CNCCFP had rejected the campaign accounts of the Generation Hope and En marche vers le Progrès lists; in 2012 those of the RRR and in 2007 those of the Union for Progress. In 2012, Louis Mussington had seen his campaign accounts invalidated within the framework of the legislative elections because he had filed them out of time.
The consequences of the invalidation of the accounts are the ineligibility of the candidates and/or their automatic resignation as well as the non-right to budgetary reimbursement of the State of the expenses. Indeed, they are reimbursed in full to the candidate at the head of the list when the latter has obtained at least 5% of the votes cast.
In 2017, Jules Charville spent €20, Daniel Gibbs €635, Louis Mussington €22, Alain Richardson €535. (soualigapost.com)
