Registry and disclosures for local political parties and slates

As required by section 22 of the Local Political Parties and Slates Regulation, every registered local political party and slate is required to file a disclosure statement with Elections Calgary by March 1 of each year.

On or before September 30 of a year in which a general election is to be held, a registered local political party that received contributions or incurred expenses in the period beginning on January 1 and ending on July 31 of that year must file a disclosure statement in respect of that period.

Disclosure statements are available for public viewing in person, by appointment, by contacting Elections Calgary.

For more information about a local political party or slate, contact the party or slate directly.
