Inspector's List of Disqualified Candidates

The Local Government Act (Act) requires every election campaign, whether run by a declared candidate, an elector organization or a campaign organizer, to file a campaign financing disclosure statement with the local government within 120 days after general voting day.
 

Campaign financing disclosure statements are accepted for another 30 days, but only if accompanied by a $500 late-filing penalty.
 

A candidate who has not filed the required documents by 150 days after general voting day is disqualified from being nominated for, elected to, or holding office on any municipal council, regional district board, board of education, or local trust committee of the Islands Trust, until after the next general local election.
 

An elector organization or campaign organizer that has not filed a campaign financing disclosure statement by 150 days after general voting day is not eligible to endorse a candidate on a ballot, accept campaign contributions or incur election expenses until after the next general local election.
 

For further information on campaign financing disclosure statements, please contact the applicable local government or consult the Candidate's Guide to Local Elections in BC (515 KB).
 

The Act requires local governments to report candidates, elector organizations and campaign organizers that have been disqualified to the Inspector of Municipalities, who then makes a list of the individuals and organizations who have been disqualified, available for public inspection.
 

The following individuals, elector organizations and campaign organizers have not met the legislative requirements to file their disclosure statements within the applicable time and are disqualified until after November 12, 2011.  The obligation to file a campaign financing disclosure statement and penalties for failing to do so, will apply to campaign organizers starting in 2008.
