The Joint Compliance Audit Committee (JCAC) is responsible for compliance audit requests arising from the 2026 Municipal Election and any by-elections that occur during the 2026–2030 Term of Council.
Responsibilities include:
- Considering whether an application for a compliance audit filed by an eligible voter should be granted or rejected;
- Appointing an auditor, if the application is granted;
- Receiving and considering the auditor's report and deciding whether legal proceedings should be commenced;
- Receiving and reviewing the report of the Town Clerk on any apparent over-contributions by contributors to candidates' and third party advertisers' campaigns.
If an eligible voter in the Town of Aurora believes on reasonable grounds that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, pertaining to election campaign finances, the voter may apply for a compliance audit. Applications for a compliance audit are forwarded to the Joint Compliance Audit Committee appointed by the Town of Aurora and other York Region municipalities for review.
Compliance audit requests related to school board trustee candidates are the responsibility of the Compliance Audit Committee appointed by each school board. For more information about compliance audits of school board trustee candidates, contact the specific school board directly.
