2024 York Region District School Board Trustee (Wards 1, 2, 4) By-election 

Are you planning to advertise in support of a candidate in the 2024 York Region District School Board Trustee (Wards 1, 2 and 4) By-election? The Municipal Elections Act, 1996 includes rules for third party advertising.

  • A third party advertisement is an advertisement in any broadcast, print, electronic or other medium that has the purpose of promoting, supporting or opposing a candidate in the election OR a “yes” or “no” answer to a question on the ballot.
  • A third party advertiser is any individual, corporation or trade union that causes an election campaign advertisement to appear. A third party advertiser is required to register with the City Clerk of the municipality where they want to advertise before spending any money, accept contributions or begin advertising.

Detailed information can be found in the 2022 Third Party Advertisers' Guide issued by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing (MMAH).

(Note: Dates in the Government of Ontario's 2022 Third Party Advertisers' Guide are not applicable to 2024 School Board By-election)

To become a third party advertiser in 2024 York Region District School Board Trustee (Wards 1, 2 and 4) By-election you must register with the Office of the Clerk. The registration period is from Friday April 12, 2024 until Friday July 12, 2024.

Until the Office of the Clerk certifies a third party advertiser's registration, no money can be spent on advertisements, the third party advertiser cannot accept contributions, nor can the third party advertiser begin advertising.

  • A Federal political party registered under the Canada Elections Act (Canada) or any federal constituency association or registered candidate at a federal election endorsed by that party
  • A Provincial political party, constituency association, registered candidate or leadership contestant registered under the Election Finances Act

  • An individual or a representative of a corporation or trade union must file a Notice of Registration Form 7 with Richmond Hill’s City Clerk in person or by an agent.
  • The Notice of Registration Form 7 must have an original signature – it cannot be a copy, nor can it be scanned and submitted electronically.

Richmond Hill, ON L4B 3P4

Requirements for Third Party Advertisers

Third party advertisers must identify themselves and provide mandatory information on all advertising.

Third party advertisements must contain the following information:

  • Name of the registered third party advertiser
  • The municipality where the third party advertiser is registered
  • Telephone number, mailing address or email address at which the registered third party advertiser may be contacted regarding the advertisement
Spending Limits for Third Party Advertisers

Spending limits apply to registered third parties in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act, 1996.

Spending limits are calculated early in election periods based on voters' list numbers from the previous elections, and recalculated closer to Voting Day when the corrected voters' list becomes available. The final spending limit is the greater of the two amounts - this means that the spending limit will never be less than the amount shown in the Preliminary Estimate, but the recalculation may result in spending limits being increased.

Third Party Advertisers are responsible for complying with all applicable campaign finance rules under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. City staff are not able to interpret rules or legislation for a third party advertiser, so if you are unsure about any of your obligations you may wish to consult a legal professional.
