For provincial elections, the Election Act stipulates that a candidate’s election expenses are limited. This limit is based on a maximum amount per elector in the electoral division in which they are running. Political parties are also subject to a limit on election expenses. This limit is based on a maximum amount per elector in all electoral divisions where that party has an official candidate. In municipal and school elections, the limit on election expenses is set according to a base amount that may be increased according to the number of people on the list of electors.
