2022 Election Reports

2022 Municipal Elections Information

Financial Statement Filing and Reporting

It is the responsibility of each candidate to file a complete and accurate financial statement by the filing deadline. The deadline for the 2022 municipal election was 2 p.m. on Friday March 31, 2023. 

The City Clerk is responsible to review and report on campaign contributions made to candidates running for a position on City Council, as well as registered third party contributors. The Secretary of a school board is responsible for compiling a campaign financing report for candidates running for School Board Trustee. These reports are reviewed by the Compliance Audit Committee. The Clerk must publicly identify in a report the candidates and third parties who have failed to comply with the financial requirements of the Municipal Elections Act.

Financial Statements and Compliance Report

The Election Compliance Report is provided pursuant to section 88.23 (4) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996 (the Act) which mandates the Clerk make available to the public a report identifying which candidates have complied with the requirements for filing their financial statements.

After the 2022 Municipal and School Board Elections, candidates and third party advertisers had until March 31, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. to file their Financial Statements with the Clerk’s Office where they had registered. A supplementary filing date enabled those candidates who did not meet the March deadline, to submit their financial statements by May 1, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. along with a late filing fee of $500. Filing by the supplementary date would rescind the penalties associated with not filing by the March deadline.

The Clerk’s review of candidate financial statements includes: filing date and time, campaign period identified, inclusion of auditor’s report (where required), spending and contributor limits. The Clerk must also make a report available to the public regarding where contributors appear to have exceeded contribution limits as determined by the Act.

The tables below indicate whether the Financial Statements submitted for each candidate appears to be in compliance with Section 88.25 of the Act. Where a candidate does not appear to be in compliance with the Act, the nature of the default will be clearly identified.

You can view each candidate's financial statement by clicking on the candidate's name. If a candidate is listed as non-compliant, their financial statement may not be available.

If an eligible elector believes that a candidate or third party advertiser has contravened an election campaign finance rule, the elector may apply for a compliance audit. Compliance audit committees are required to provide brief written reasons for their decisions.

Meetings of the compliance audit committee are open to the public, but the committee is permitted to deliberate in private. 

The term of the Municipal Election Compliance Audit Committee for the City of Peterborough corresponds with the term of Council.

For more information about the Compliance Audit Committee, please contact the City Clerk's Office to request a copy of the Compliance Audit Committee Terms of Reference. 

You can submit an application in regards to a candidate's or third party advertiser's financial statement.

Summary

A review of contributors to candidates did not identify any contraventions as per the Act. One candidate for the Office of Councillor for Town Ward 3, and one candidate for the Office of Mayor did not file financial statements and are therefore in default as per section 88.23(1)(a) of the Act. There were no registered Third Party Advertisers. Financial Statements for the Conseil Scolaire Viamonde and Conseil Scolaire Catholique MonAvenir boards were filed with the City of Oshawa, where the candidates registered. As a result, Compliance or Non-Compliance with the provisions of the Act will be determined by the Clerk for the City of Oshawa. This report is provided to the public pursuant to section 88.23 (4) of the Municipal Elections Act.
