Less than one in five charities and not-for-profits understand the restrictions imposed on campaigning during the General Election.
The new figures compiled by marketing social enterprise Campaign Collective and Sapio Research reveal that a quarter of charities (23%) plan to campaign on issues during the General Election.
But the rules imposed on all organisations by the Lobbying Act during the election are not understood.
18% of organisations claim they completely understand the rules, 37% somewhat understand and 44% not really or not at all appreciating the restrictions that apply.
Over half (52%) of charities, not-for-profits and social enterprises believe the 2017 UK General Election will be important to their organisation, but less than a quarter (22%) felt prepared for the Election.
