Application for a Compliance Audit of Election Campaign Finances - 2022 Municipal Elections

Under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (“Act”), candidates, registered third-party advertisers, and contributors are bound by specific election campaign finance rules. Candidates and registered third-party advertisers must file provincially prescribed financial statements with the municipal clerk outlining their campaign finance activities. All financial statements received for the 2022 municipal election can be reviewed at aurora.ca/elections. 

Any eligible elector who believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate or registered third party has contravened one or more of the election finance rules in the Act may submit an application for a compliance audit of the candidate or registered third-party's campaign finances.

The application deadline has passed.
