Joint Compliance Audit Committee

The Municipal Elections Act, 1996, as amended requires all municipalities to establish a Compliance Audit Committee before October 1st in an election year for the purposes of Section 88.33 of the Act relative to a possible contravention of the Act's election campaign finance provisions.

For the 2022 Municipal Election, the Town of Perth has established a Joint Compliance Audit Committee with the lower tier municipalities of the County of Lanark and the Town of Smiths Falls.

The Town of Perth’s By-law No. 2022-5032 appoints the Joint Compliance Audit Committee (JCAC) and By-law No. 2022-5003 adopts the JCAC’s Terms of Reference.

 

Compliance Audit Procedure

Any eligible elector who believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act relating to election campaign finances may apply for a compliance audit.

Applications for a compliance audit related to the 2022 Municipal Election must be filed with the Town Clerk on or before June 29, 2023, for a candidate who filed their financial statement by 2 p.m. on March 31, 2023.
