Applying for a Compliance Audit

An eligible voter who believes that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened the election campaign finance rules under the Municipal Elections Act may apply for a compliance audit of their campaign finances.

To apply for a compliance audit for a mayoral candidate, councillor candidate, or registered third party advertiser:

  • Complete the Compliance Audit Request Form (attached at the bottom of this page).
  • Submit the form and any supporting documents in person or by mail to the Middlesex Centre Municipal Office, attention to the Municipal Clerk.
  • Note that the municipality must receive the compliance audit application by June 29, 2023.

The Compliance Audit Committee will consider the application and, if granted, will appoint an auditor to audit the campaign finances. The committee will consider the audit results and decide whether to commence legal action.

The municipality does not accept compliance audit applications for school board trustee candidates; these must be submitted to the relevant school board directly.
