• Every candidate and registered third party is required to submit a financial statement by 2 pm on August 17, 2021, regardless if they withdrew their nomination or extended their campaign.

• If a financial statement or a request for an extension to the campaign is not filed by a candidate, the candidate forfeits any office to which they were elected and is ineligible to be elected or appointed to any office to which the MEA applies until the next regular election has taken place.
• If a financial statement or a request for an extension to the campaign is not filed by a registered third party, the individual, corporation or trade union is not entitled to register in relation to a subsequent election in the municipality until after the next regular election has taken place.
