Post-Election Reports

Accessibility Report

The focus of the Post-Election Accessible Report evaluates the accessibility of the electoral services offered to all electors and candidates in the 2022 Municipal and School Board Election.

Following the 2026 Municipal Election, an updated Post-Election Accessibility Report will be posted here.

Under the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, the Municipal Clerk is legislatively responsible for conducting Municipal and School Board Elections and establishing policies and procedures to ensure that all electors can participate fully in the election. The Municipal Elections Act requires the Clerk to regard the needs of electors and candidates with disabilities and ensure that all voting places are accessible to electors with disabilities. The Clerk is also required, within 90 days after a regular election, to prepare a report on the identification, removal, and prevention of barriers that affect electors and candidates with disabilities and make the report available to the public.

The Post-Election Accessible Report outlines the actions taken regarding the identification, removal and prevention of barriers that affected electors and candidates with disabilities and how these actions impacted their voting experience.

Candidates Financial Disclosure

On or before 2:00 p.m. on March 30, 2027, a candidate shall file with the Clerk with whom the nomination was filed a financial statement and auditor's report (if required), each in the prescribed form, reflecting the candidate's election campaign finances. Financial statements must be filed even if the candidate withdrew their nomination, did not actively campaign, was acclaimed, filed a Notice of Extension of Campaign, or their nomination was not certified by the Clerk.

If the financial statement is not filed by the deadline, a statement may be filed within 30 days thereafter but requires payment of a $500 late filing fee in accordance with the Municipal Elections Act. This grace period ends at 2:00 p.m. on April 29, 2027. If a candidate files their financial statement within the 30-day grace period they will not receive a refund of their nomination fee.

All financial statements filed with the Clerk will be posted on the Certified Candidates webpage for public viewing.​ Please contact the Clerk's office by emailing ckclerk@chatham-kent.ca to request an accessible copy of a Candidate's financial filing.
