1 About the NSW Electoral Commission The NSW Electoral Commission is a statutory authority comprising three members appointed by the Governor of NSW. The Commission approves funding to independent MPs, candidates and parties and enforces provisions of three NSW Acts. It can conduct and promote research into electoral matters. Find out more information about the work the Commission does, how it increases public awareness of its work and decisions and the members of the Commission. This diagram shows the relationship between the NSW Electoral Commission, the Electoral Commissioner and the Parliament of NSW. Some FAQs about the work of the Commission is here: n/faqs_-_the_commission Legislation enforced by the NSW Electoral Commission The Commission enforces provisions of the three NSW Acts and their regulations: Parliamentary Electorates and Elections Act 1912 Election Funding, Expenditure and Disclosures Act 1981 Lobbying of Government Officials Act 2011 The distribution of public money The distribution of public money for election purposes must be done according to the law. This means that claims for the payment of funding to parties, independent MP's and candidates must include declarations disclosing expenditure for which reimbursement is sought. Funding, Disclosure and Compliance Branch staff audit each claim for public funding. If further information or supporting documentation is required, staff will liaise with the agent of the party, candidate or elected member. Public money is distributed after an approval by the 3 member Commission. Public money comes from three funds: the Election Campaigns Fund, the Administration Fund and the Policy Development Fund. 1
2 Inadequate declarations, disclosure or compliance To be able to account for the receipt and use of donations, and compliance with electoral laws generally, political parties, elected members, candidates, groups and third-party campaigners must submit a declaration disclosing political donations received and expenditure incurred. These declarations are separate to declarations that accompany claims for public funding. Most candidates and parties comply within the required time periods. Sometimes disclosed information does not meet the requisite standard and when this happens an opportunity to update or correct the information is generally allowed. Funding, Disclosure and Compliance Branch officers provide advice to people about how to lodge disclosure documentation. Find out more information on the role of the Funding Disclosure and Compliance Branch. See Frequently Asked Questions about funding, disclosure and compliance. Donations to political parties Political parties are required to disclose information and, depending on the amount of the donation, the identity of the donor itself. People who make donations in excess of $1,000 (whether monetary or donations in kind) are also required to disclose this information. Find out more information about Political Donations. Investigation powers The NSWEC has investigation powers which may be used to determine whether a breach of the legislation has occurred. Fines and other penalties (including imprisonment) may be imposed on those who do not comply with their funding and disclosure obligations. It is a serious offence to enter into, or carry out, a scheme to circumvent a prohibition or requirement regarding political donations or electoral expenditure. 2
3 NSW Political Donations Certain political donations are unlawful. If a person makes or accepts a political donation and is aware the donation is unlawful the person may have committed an offence and may be prosecuted by the NSWEC in a court. This includes individuals that accept donations on behalf of a political party, elected member, candidate, group or third-party campaigner. Read more here: litical_donations Political donations for State electoral purposes are subject to specific caps. Read more here: litical_donations NSW Disclosure laws Political donations and electoral expenditure must be disclosed to the NSWEC after each financial year. Read more about how to disclose and about offences here: Conduct of NSW Elections The Electoral Commissioner is responsible for enrolment of electors (that is, people enrolled to vote), electoral rolls and the conduct of elections.
