2024 Election Campaign Donation Returns
Election candidates are required under section 306 of the Local Government Act 2020 to provide campaign donation returns. All candidates in Victorian local government elections must submit a return within 40 days of election day.
A campaign donation return is a record of donations or gifts, including in-kind support, during the donation period.
The return is supplied to candidates as a form, enabling candidates to fill in details of donations or gifts they have received above the $500 threshold, as applicable under the Act.
Candidates must also disclose if they have not received any donations or gifts.
Within 14 days after the deadline for completed returns, summaries will be available on our website. They’ll be available until the entitlement date for the next general election.
