School Board Support Designation
School support designation helps property owners and tenants identify which school board they wish to support in a school board election and appropriately allocate school support funding to the board of choice. As per legislation, your school support defaults to the English Public school board. The Municipal Property Assessment Corporation (MPAC) manages school support designations. To learn more about school board designations and/or to change your school board designation, please visit mpac.ca/schoolsupport.
The deadline to review and update your school support designation through MPAC for the 2026 Municipal Election is June 1, 2026.
Compliance Audit Committee
The Compliance Audit Committee (CAC) reviews and considers compliance audit applications submitted by an elector who believes that a candidate or registered third party advertiser has contravened a provision of the Municipal Elections Act (MEA) relating to election campaign finances. The CAC is also responsible for reviewing reports submitted by the Town Clerk with respect to any contributor who appears to have contravened any of the contribution limits to a candidates’ election campaign or to a registered third-party advertiser. The Committee has the authority to:
-
Grant or reject a compliance audit application;
-
Appoint an auditor to conduct the audit where the application is granted;
-
Consider the auditor’s or Clerk’s report within 30 days of receiving it; and
-
Decide whether to commence legal proceedings against the candidate, a contributor or registered third party for any apparent contravention.
Please visit Durham.ca/elections for current application openings for the Joint Compliance Audit Committee and apply by April 2, 2026.
