- must be for a candidate or registered third-party advertiser in the municipal election within the applicable municipality
The request for a compliance audit of a candidate or registered third party advertiser’s election campaign finances must be made within 90 days after the latest of the following dates:
- candidate or registered third party advertiser filing date
- date the candidate or registered third party advertiser filed a financial statement, if the statement was filed within 30 days after the applicable filing date
- candidate or registered third party advertiser’s supplementary filing date, if any
