Advertising Sponsors
An election advertising sponsor is a person or organization – other than a registered political party, registered constituency association or candidate – who conducts election advertising. Election advertising sponsors must be registered with the Chief Electoral Officer, even if the election advertising they are conducting does not cost any money. Advertising sponsors can also take part in initiatives and recalls.
This section contains resources for sponsors of election advertising, recall advertising, and initiative advertising. It includes a list of frequently asked questions, a guide to registering with the Chief Electoral Officer and information about filing advertising disclosure reports.
