Filing Guidelines for Constituency Associations

If you register a constituency association in Ontario, you must follow rules according to the Election Finances Act. Your chief financial officer (CFO) has many legal responsibilities including recording, reporting and keeping financial information.

Below is a summary of the filing requirements. For a full list of a CFO’s roles and responsibilities and complete details, please see the applicable handbook: CFO Handbook for Constituency Associations or the CFO Handbook for Constituency Associations of Independent Members.

When you fill out a form please ensure:

  • all information is accurate and complete (inaccurate information will cause delays and may be a contravention of the Election Finances Act); and
  • information is typed or printed clearly on the form.

Please note that filling out these forms is not a replacement for your responsibility to follow auditable bookkeeping practices.

Please refer to the Completion Guide in each form and the CFO Handbook for Constituency Associations or the CFO Handbook for Constituency Associations of Independent Members for more information.
