Lodging election summary returns

Disclosure returns provide transparency for the movement of money used to support election participants in a state election.

In addition to reporting gifts and loans in real-time, election summary returns are required from associated entities after a state election. The election summary return is a summary of all electoral expenditure incurred for an election, and it must be accompanied by a bank statement from the state campaign account of the registered political party or candidate with which the entity is associated.

The return must be submitted within 15 weeks after the election.
