2018 Municipal Elections Financial Statements

Every candidate (including a candidate who withdrew his or her nomination) and every registered third-party advertiser is required to file a campaign financial statement.

The City Clerk is required to post financial statements on the City’s website.

Filing Deadlines

Candidates and registered third party advertisers must file an initial campaign financial statement by 2 p.m. on March 29, 2019.

Candidates or registered third party advertisers who filed a Form 6 to extend their campaign must also file a supplementary campaign financial statement by 2 p.m. on September 27, 2019

30-day Grace Period

A candidate or registered third party advertisers who misses the filing deadline can submit their statement up to 30 days later, provided they also pay the $500 late filing fee required by the Municipal Elections Act.

Changes to a Financial Statement

Candidates and registered third party advertisers who submit a financial statement and later identify an error may withdraw their original statement and submit a new one by 2 p.m. on the filing deadline date (March 29, 2019 or September 27, 2019 for supplementary financial statements). Only corrected campaign financial statements will be posted to the website.

Compliance Audits

An eligible elector who believes on reasonable grounds that a Council candidate of third party advertiser has contravened the Municipal Elections Act in respect to election campaign finances, may submit an application for a compliance audit to City Clerk.
