Third party registration​

Registration

The registration of third parties makes their roles and actions transparent to the public. Third parties must register with the ECQ if they incur cumulative electoral expenditure exceeding $6,000 during the capped expenditure period for a local government election.

The third-party registration process can be completed on the ECQ’s Self Service Portal, and more detail about the registration process can be found in Fact sheet 32 – Third party registration process.

The agent of a registered third party may apply to the ECQ to cancel the third party’s registration for an election if required.
