Registered Candidates and Financial Statements

2022 Financial statements

All Candidates must file an initial Financial Statement - Auditor's Report Candidate - Form 4 with the City Clerk under Section 88.25 of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996. The initial financial statement documents all contributions received and expenses incurred by the Candidate from the date they filed their nomination up to and including the end of the campaign period that ends on December 31, 2022.

If a Candidate has incurred expenses in excess of $10,000 or received contributions over $10,000, the financial statement submitted must also include an auditor’s report completed by an auditor licensed under the Public Accounting Act, 2004.

The filing deadline for the initial financial statement was 2 p.m. on March 31, 2023

30 day grace period

A Candidate who misses the filing deadline can submit their financial statement up to 30 days later than the filing deadline provided they also pay the late filing fee of $500 required by the Municipal Elections Act.

Extension of campaign period

Candidates who filed a Form 6 – Extension of Campaign Period prior to the deadline of January 2, 2023 at 4:30 p.m. are required to file Supplementary Financial Statements with the City Clerk by September 29, 2023 covering the six-month period following the year of the election, or until the deficit is eliminated, whichever is shorter.

Should a Candidate miss the deadline to file their supplementary financial statement, the same penalties apply as if the Candidate failed to file their initial financial statement on March 31, 2023.

Compliance Audits

An Elector who is entitled to vote in an election and believes on reasonable grounds that a Candidate has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act relating to election campaign finances may apply to the Joint Compliance Audit Committee for a compliance audit of the Candidate's election campaign finances, even if the Candidate has not filed a financial statement under Section 88.25 of the Act.

For more information please visit the Compliance Audit Committee page.

Clerk's report

In accordance with section 88.23(4) of the Municipal Elections Act, the Clerk shall make available to the public a report setting out all candidates in an election and indicating whether each candidate complied with section 88.25 of the Act.
