* The source adds the following information: "This chart shows spending that campaigners reported in their statutory spending returns for UK Parliament elections in 2015 and 2017; Scottish Parliament and National Assembly for Wales elections in 2011 and 2016; Northern Ireland Assembly elections in 2011, 2016 and 2017; and the referendums on EU membership in 2016, Scottish Independence in 2014 and changing the UK’s voting system in 2011.
But this chart does not show the full picture of digital advertising at elections and referendums. It only contains spending data for the most well known digital platforms, which registered campaigners have reported to us."
