Are You Interested in Registering as a Third Party Advertiser

What is a Third Party Advertiser?

A registered third party advertiser is an individual, corporation, trade union, or other body that advertises to support or oppose a candidate for the municipal election.

A registered third party advertiser is subject to many of the same requirements as that of a candidate, including filing registration papers, expense limits and financial statements.

There is no registration fee for third party advertisers, but the Clerk must examine the registration, and then certify the notice of registration if deemed compliant, or reject the registration. No election advertising outside of a candidate or registered third-party is permitted.

The following are not permitted to register:

• Municipal election candidates;
• Federal and provincial political parties, constituency associations, registered candidates and leadership contestants; or
• A federal and provincial government, municipality or local board
