Resetting of certain expenditure caps when multiple elections in a calendar year
302ARC Resetting of certain expenditure caps when multiple elections in a calendar year
This section applies if:
a general election is held in a calendar year; and
after the polling day for the general election, another general election is, or is to be, held in the same calendar year; and
the writs for the other general election have been issued.
The civil penalty provisions in Subdivisions C, D, E and F that apply in relation to calendar years apply as if the part of the calendar year that occurred before the day the writs were issued for the other general election, and the part of the calendar year that occurred on and after that day, were different calendar years.
This means new and separate caps apply for electoral expenditure incurred for the remainder of the year on and after the day the writs for the other general election were issued.
