MESSAGE FROM THE CHIEF ELECTORAL OFFICER

This report provides a summary of the annual contributions received by each registered political party. In addition, it represents a year-long effort by the party officials who are tasked with financial reporting. Party officials are responsible for the meticulous tracking of contributions and financial records, for verifying contributors’ eligibility, for preparing and distributing official receipts, and for submitting accurate and complete annual revenue returns by the statutory deadline. Party officials are to be commended for their personal commitment to this important role in the electoral process.

On December 3, 2015, amendments to the Elections Act were enacted, which affect financial reporting provisions. These amendments came into effect for the 2016 calendar year. Party officials were notified of the amendments in December 2015 to facilitate the implementation of necessary record-keeping practices to fulfill the new reporting requirements. Guides and resources will be developed to support compliance with the reporting requirements that are in effect for the 2016 calendar year.

Party officials have filed their annual revenue returns for 2015 in accordance with current legislative requirements, while adapting their record-keeping to file the 2016 returns on the basis of amended legislation. Their cooperation and commitment will ensure successful transition to the new legislative framework.

Lori McKee Chief Electoral Officer
