Following a 10 week consultation period the Trust has today published the final allocation criteria (English version | Welsh version) for Party Election Broadcasts in 2015.

As in previous election campaigns, the allocation criteria have been drafted by the BBC Executive and will be used to identify those parties eligible for one or more broadcasts on BBC services in advance of the elections being held on 7 May 2015 for:

  • General Election
  • English local government (including mayoral elections)

The Trust has also published a consultation statement document (English version | Welsh version) which summarises the consultation responses the Trust received regarding the proposed allocation criteria with the Trust’s decision on those issues raised.


The Trust has also published a complaints timetable (English version | Welsh version) which sets out the timeframe in which any complaint about the allocation of PEBs needs to be received and dealt with by the BBC.
