What is a campaign organizer?

Section 55 of the Vancouver Charter defines “campaign organizer” as follows:

1. an organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated, other than an elector organization, that undertakes, or intends to undertake, an election campaign that
   • augments or operates in place of, or
   • is intended to augment or operate in place of the election campaign of one or more candidates or of one or more elector organizations, or both
     
     OR
2. an individual who
   • undertakes, or intends to undertake, an election campaign referred to in paragraph (a), other than an election campaign for the individual as a candidate, and
   • accepts, or intends to accept, campaign contributions in relation to the campaign from any other individual or any organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated;

Campaign organizer responsibilities

All campaign organizers must file a declaration before the election, and campaign financing disclosures afterward.  Detailed information about these requirements are contained in the 2011 Campaign Organizer Information Package ( PDF, 300kb)
