mayoral candidates and groups that include a mayoral candidate
non-mayoral candidates and groups that do not include a mayoral candidate

If a local government area is divided into wards, the cap is the same for each ward.
If you are a candidate who is a member of a group one cap amount applies to expenditure incurred by the group and each group member.
