Quick Guide to Election Finances Law of Ontario

Introduction

This brochure is intended as a handy reference for chief financial officers, constituency officials and others involved in the financing of political activities in Ontario.  Also available are two other publications on fund-raising activities and political contributions.  These booklets are a ready reference, but the Election Finances Act is the final authority.

Most of the people involved are volunteers.  They are the people who make the system work.  These brochures are provided mainly for them.  The Election Finances Office can function efficiently only with the assistance of this informed support team.
