Applications Open for Compliance Audit Committee

Peterborough, ON – Applications are now open for citizens interested in serving on the Compliance Audit Committee for the City of Peterborough’s 2026 municipal election.  

The Compliance Audit Committee is a requirement under the Ontario Municipal Elections Act. The Committee will address applications requesting an audit of a candidate’s or third-party advertiser’s election campaign finances and is intended to oversee investigations regarding candidate finances. 

Interested applicants should have experience in accounting and audits, law, or law enforcement and academics from related fields. The committee remains in place for the term of the newly elected Council until the next municipal election in 2030. This is largely a volunteer position and is an excellent opportunity for individuals to offer assistance as part of municipal election requirements. 

Additional information is available online at peterborough.ca/election. Applications may be submitted online with the interactive form. Packages are also available at City Hall, 500 George St. N. 

Applications will be accepted until March 20, 2026, at 4:30 p.m.
