Campaign disclosure statements due soon

MEDICINE HAT, AB – Municipal election candidates have less than one month to submit campaign disclosure statements to avoid a late filing fee.

The deadline to submit revenue and expense disclosure is March 1. Those who don’t file by that date will be charged a $500 late filing fee.

Legislation requires the disclosure statements be filed with the office of the returning officer before 4:30 p.m. that day.

“Campaign disclosure records include a list of campaign contributions such as revenues, donations and expenses,” explains Angela Cruickshank. “That requirement is in force for all candidates, even those that self-funded their campaigns.”

Candidates who fail to file their statements, or who are late in filing their statements, will be charged a late filing fee of $500.
