Compliance Auditing
An elector who is entitled to vote in an election and believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, relating to election campaign finances may apply for a compliance audit. Applications for a compliance audit are forwarded to the Joint Compliance Audit Committee (JCAC) appointed by the Township of King and other York Region municipalities for review.
Applications for a compliance audit must be submitted to the Township Clerk in writing, setting out the reasons for the elector's belief that a contravention of the Municipal Elections Act relating to election campaign finances has occurred. Upon receipt of an application, the Township Clerk must forward the application to the Committee within 10 days, following which the Committee must decide within 30 days of receipt of the application whether to proceed with conducting an audit.
For more information, contact Denny Timm, Township Clerk at 905-833-4082 or clerks@king.ca.
