INTRODUCTION

Financial Information & Statistics, Nova Scotia Provincial General Election, 2009

1. Introduction

The report of the Chief Electoral Officer on the proceedings of the 38th Nova Scotia Provincial General Election held on June 9, 2009 is presented in two volumes. Volume I, Statement of Votes & Statistics published in September, 2009 provides the recapitulation on the election, identifies elected members, official agents and senior election officers, summarizes election results and provides detailed results and statistics by voting area (poll by poll results) as well as by candidate gender and historically by election. Volume II of the report, Financial Information & Statistics published in March, 2010 following completion of accounts, provides financial information on election expenses, candidate reimbursement, election administration costs and financial and comparative statistics. On May 5, 2009, at the request of Premier Rodney MacDonald, the Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Mayann E. Francis, dissolved the Legislative Assembly. An Order in Council directed the Chief Electoral Officer to issue the writs of election to all 52 electoral districts, ordering that the 38th Nova Scotia Provincial General Election be held on Tuesday, June 9, 2009. No candidates being returned by acclamation, a poll was held in all electoral districts. At the time of dissolution there were 4 recognized parties and 52 electoral districts in Nova Scotia. Standings in the House of Assembly were 21 members of The Progressive Conservative Association of Nova Scotia, 20 members of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party, 9 members of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party, one independent and one vacancy. In the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election, 212 candidates stood for election: 52 from each of the Nova Scotia Liberal Party (NSLP), the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party (NDP), The Progressive Conservative Association of Nova Scotia (PC), and the Green Party of Nova Scotia (GPNS); as well as 4 independent candidates. Of the total number of candidates who stood for election, 146 achieved the required threshold of 10% of the valid votes cast in their electoral districts qualifying them for reimbursement of a portion of their election expenses from public funding. Total reimbursement paid to these 146 candidates amounted to $2,699,458.09 in 2009. By comparison, in the 37th Provincial General Election held on June 13, 2006, when the reimbursement threshold was 15%, 134 out of 208 candidates standing for election received public funding for election expenses of $2,301,080.71. In the 36th Provincial General Election held on August 5, 2003, 144 out of 189 candidates standing for election received public funding for election expenses of $2,159,125.92. Recognized party election expenses for the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election were $1,247,204.02. By comparison recognized party election expenses were $1,316,413.39 in 2006 and $1,220,834.07 in 2003. Candidate election expenses for the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election were $4,808,931.57. By comparison candidate election expenses were $4,451,756.69 in 2006 and $4,332,117.21 in 2003. Total administration costs for the 2009 Provincial General Election, excluding reimbursement of candidate election expenses and audit fees, were $4,607,981.93. This figure includes all direct costs incurred by the electoral district returning offices and indirect costs incurred by Elections Nova Scotia to administer the election. Costs incurred prior to the issuance of the writs of election for supplies, materials, computer equipment, software, election officer training, consulting services and any other related expenses which are expended between elections to ensure ongoing election readiness are not included.

CHANGES TO ELECTORAL FINANCE LEGISLATION

Financial Information & Statistics, Nova Scotia Provincial General Election, 2009

2. Changes to Electoral Finance Legislation

Subsequent to the June 13, 2006 Provincial General Election amendments to the Elections Act and the Members and Public Employees Disclosure Act (MPEDA) have come into force1. Changes to the Elections Act (including the Tariff of Fees and Expenses made under the Elections Act) and MPEDA relating to electoral finance matters are: Elections Act • Section 167A - The Chief Electoral Officer may, upon the written request of a candidate or official agent, conduct an administrative recount for the purpose of determining whether a candidate received the required percentage of votes (10%) to be eligible for reimbursement. (2008, c.28, s.6) • Section 176 - Advertising related to an election no longer requires that the name of the printer be identified on the advertisement. (2006, c.28 s.10) • Section 182 - In order to receive reimbursement of election expenses a candidate must receive not less than 10% of the valid votes cast in the candidate’s electoral district rather than 15%. (2008, c.13, s. 8) • Section 183 - An official agent of a candidate files all election reports directly with the Chief Electoral Officer rather than with a returning officer. (2008, c.13, s.9) • Section 183 - The Chief Electoral Officer shall publish reports of candidate election expenses and amended reports of candidate election expenses in such manner as the Chief Electoral Officer determines, including electronically through a website of the Chief Electoral Officer. (2008, c.28, s.9) • The Tariff, was amended to increase the fees paid for polling location rentals (Section. 36) and printing allowances (Section 39). (N.S. Reg-368/2008) • The Tariff, Section 41 was amended to increase reimbursement for candidate audit fees. (N.S. Reg-368/2008) • The Tariff, Section 42 was amended to provide for payment of bookkeeping services provided to an electoral district association. (N.S. Reg-368/2008) • The Tariff of Fees and Expenses (Tariff), Section 43 was amended to increase fees and expenses paid to election workers appointed under the Elections Act and adjust the fees annually for any increase in the CPI. (N.S. Reg-368/2008)

Members and Public Employees Disclosure Act (MPEDA) On March 2, 2007 amendments to MPEDA contained in Chapter 1 of the Statutes of Nova Scotia, 2007, were proclaimed in force. These amendments contain four significant components: • Public funding of recognized parties; • Contributor eligibility requirements; • Contribution limits;

1 References to MPEDA in this report are to the law as it existed prior to amendments contained in SNS 2009, c. 19 (in force November 5, 2009) 2-1 Financial Information & Statistics, Nova Scotia Provincial General Election, 2009

• Publication of audited financial statements by recognized parties within 120 days after each fiscal year of the recognized party.

Political Contributions Disclosure (Regulations) On September 3, 2008 new Political Contributions Disclosure Regulations (Regulations) were made. (N.S. Reg 369/2008) These Regulations provide operational rules that support MPEDA. The Regulations also provide the forms that an official agent of a candidate must complete and file with ENS. Form 2, Candidates Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules requires the official agent to report: • A statement of income, expenses and surplus or deficit of the campaign; • A listing of all contributors whose annual contributions exceeded $50 pursuant to Section 14 of MPEDA2; • A listing of all transfers received by a candidate from an electoral district association or recognized party and all transfers made by a candidate to an electoral district association or recognized party; • A summary of fundraising events held on behalf of the candidate, including the number of participants, the total revenue, the total cost and the net profit from the event; • The official agent of a candidate is required to file copies of all loan agreements at the time they file Form 2, Candidate’s Financial Statements and Supporting Schedules. Pursuant to subsection 14F(1) of MPEDA a candidate may not accept a loan unless there is a loan agreement in writing.

2 Under Section 20A of MPEDA the designated person (Chief Electoral Officer) is required to publish the disclosure statements of official agents relating to the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election by June 30, 2010

RECOGNIZED PARTIES

Financial Information & Statistics, Nova Scotia Provincial General Election, 2009

3. Recognized Parties

3.1 Spending Limits, Reporting and Public Funding

Determination of spending limits for election campaigns and reporting of recognized party election expenses are important components of the electoral finance regime in Nova Scotia. The Elections Act sets out a formula by which recognized party spending limits are established. Within 120 days of the date fixed for the return of the writs of election the official agent of each recognized party is required to file a report of election expenses with supporting receipts and an independent auditor’s opinion respecting the report. There are no provisions in the Elections Act for the reimbursement of recognized party election expenses, however, the results of the election determine the amount of public funding a recognized party will receive following the election (see Section 3.1.3).

3.1.1 Recognized Party Election Expenses Spending Limits

Subsection 181(1) of the Elections Act establishes the maximum amount a recognized party may incur for election expenses as defined in clause 3(i) of the Elections Act. In the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election the election expenses of a recognized party could not exceed the aggregate of $2.21 multiplied by the number of electors in the electoral districts in which the recognized party endorsed a candidate. Table 3-1 below shows the recognized party election expenses limits by electoral district. Each of the 4 recognized parties endorsed candidates in all 52 electoral districts. This resulted in each recognized party having a total election expenses spending limit of $1,556,653.28.

3.1.2 Recognized Party Election Expenses Reporting

The official agent of each recognized party is required under subsection 184(1) of the Elections Act to file a report of election expenses with the Chief Electoral Officer within 120 days after the day fixed for return of the writs of election. All recognized parties filed their reports within the prescribed time frame and these reports have been posted on the ENS website, www.electionsnovascotia.ns.ca. A summary of election expenses reported by each of the 4 recognized parties, including the portion of election expenses that was invoiced to candidates by their party, is shown in Table 3-2.

3.1.3 Recognized Party Public Funding

A recognized party is not entitled to receive reimbursement of election expenses under the Elections Act. However, the result of the vote does impact the amount of public funding that each recognized party receives on an annual basis under MPEDA. The annual public funding a recognized party is entitled to receive is based on the aggregate of the valid votes cast for all candidates endorsed by the recognized party in the most recent general election multiplied by $1.50. Table 3-3 shows the annual public funding recognized parties received in 2007 based on the June 13, 20064 Provincial General Election and the revised public funding based on the results of the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election.

4.2 Responsibilities of the Official Agent

The official agent of a candidate is responsible for all financial aspects of the campaign and is required to file reports with the Chief Electoral Officer detailing election expenses, political contributions and tax receipts. Certain reports must include an opinion provided by the auditor appointed by the candidate. Subsection 191(3) of the Elections Act requires the auditor appointed by the candidate to be a public accountant licensed under the Public Accountants Act or a chartered accountant. Table 4-2 provides a listing of reports that must be filed by the official agent of a candidate including the statutory reference, the audit requirement and the filing deadline.

With the objective of educating official agents respecting their responsibilities under the Elections Act, MPEDA and the Regulations, ENS conducted 13 Official Agent Workshops throughout the province before the election was called and in the early period after the writs of election were issued. The workshops were designed to provide the official agent with the information and tools to put into operation the legislative requirements. These workshops were attended by 111 official agents, representing 68% of officially nominated candidates.

4.4 Candidate Reimbursement

4.4.1 Candidate Nomination Deposit

At the time a candidate files their nomination paper with the returning officer he or she is required to provide a deposit of $100. If the candidate receives not less than 10% of the valid votes cast in their electoral district the nomination deposit is returned to the candidate’s official agent. In the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election 213 candidates were officially nominated. One candidate withdrew before nominations closed on nomination day. Of the 212 candidates that stood for election, 146 achieved 10% or more of the valid votes cast in their electoral district and had their nomination deposit returned.

4.4.2 Candidate Audit Fee

Under Section 41 of the Tariff, the official agent of a candidate is reimbursed for all or a portion of their costs for audit fees. The eligibility of a candidate to be reimbursed for audit costs is not conditional on receiving a minimum threshold of the valid votes cast in their electoral district. The amount of reimbursement a candidate may receive for their audit costs is the actual cost of the audit to a maximum of $450 or 2% of the candidate’s election expenses to a maximum of $750. Where a candidate’s election expenses are less than $150 the maximum audit fee reimbursement is $200. Of the 212 candidates officially nominated 211 received reimbursement of their audit costs. Total audit fee reimbursements for the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election were $100,778.03. The audit fee reimbursed to each candidate is shown in Table 4-6.

4.4.3 Candidate Election Expenses

A candidate who receives not less than 10% of the valid votes cast in their electoral district is eligible to receive reimbursement of election expenses. The amount of reimbursement is the lesser of the maximum reimbursement amount, as prescribed in subsection 182(1) of the Elections Act, or the candidate’s actual election expenses. The maximum amount of reimbursement which a candidate may receive is shown in Table 4-4.

The Elections Act requires the returning officer to appoint individuals to certain positions as defined by the Elections Act. The rates of pay for election workers are prescribed in the Tariff made under the Elections Act. A returning officer may hire additional election workers upon approval of the Chief Electoral Officer. A total of 6,211 individuals were employed in the 52 electoral districts during the June 9, 2009 Provincial General Election.
