Kia ora Harris,

 

Apologies for the delay in responding to your inquiry. Please see the
information below regarding your request.

 

•             Section 112A of the Local Electoral Act 2001 requires
candidates to file a return of electoral donations and expenses with the
electoral officer within 55 days of the results of the election being
declared. The electoral officer must make this return publicly available.

•             The return must include declarations of donations in excess
of $1,500.

•             There are no specific rules relating to the geographic
source of donations to local election candidates – i.e. the same rules
apply to domestic and overseas donations.

 

 

Ngā mihi,
