Third party advertisers must use Form 8.

All registered third party advertisers must complete Box A: Name of Registrant and Box B: Declaration. If the third party did not receive any contributions or incur any expenses, check the box indicating this, and complete the Declaration in Box B. No further information is required.

If the third party did receive contributions or incur any expenses, fill in the information in Box C, Box D, Schedule 1, and Schedule 2 as appropriate. It may be easier to fill out the form by starting with the more detailed sections such as the tables in Schedule 1 before filling in the Statement of Campaign Income and Expenses.

Any contributors that give more than $100 in total must be identified and recorded in the tables in Schedule 1. There are separate tables for contributions of money or goods and services, contributed by individuals or corporations and trade unions. Record each contribution in the appropriate table.

Contributors that give $100 or less in total do not have to be individually identified. The total amount contributed from these contributors will be recorded as a lump sum.

If the third party received contributions or incurred expenses in excess of $10,000, an auditor’s report must be included with the financial statement.

The completed financial statement must be submitted to the clerk by 2 p.m. on the last Friday in March (March 29, 2019).

Supplementary financial statements must be submitted to the clerk by 2 p.m. on the last Friday in September (September 27, 2019).
