Two of the 13 candidates vying for seats on the New Westminster Board of Education will face financial consequences for failing to file financial disclosure statements by the Feb. 13 deadline.
Elections B.C. has notified the city that Glen Armstrong and James Pepa didn’t file disclosure statements as required by the Local Elections Campaign Financing Act and will now face a $500 late filing fee.
The Local Election Campaign Financing Act requires candidates to file disclosure statements within 90 days after general voting day for a local election. Disclosure statements may be filed for another 30 days (120 days after General Voting Day) but must be accompanied by a $500 late filing fee.
Armstrong placed ninth in the race and Pepa came in 11th spot.
Rajiv Pandey didn’t spend any money on his quest for a seat on the New Westminster Board of Education, while Mark Gifford topped all candidates in spending at $15,801
