Limit to election campaign lengths, new third-party rules likely coming in fall, Liberal minister says | National Post

'OTTAWA — The minister responsible for elections reform says she is aiming to introduce legislation this fall that could impose a time limit on election campaigns. '

'The chief electoral officer concluded after the last federal election that having no limit on the length of a campaign increased uncertainty for everyone except the incumbent government. '

'At present, third-party groups only need to report their finances in the six months leading up to an election, something many have said needs to change. '

'A Senate committee report this spring also recommended random audits of third parties be conducted outside writ periods to encourage compliance with elections rules. '

'She said she would want to see it introduced in the fall and adopted by spring, ideally, so Elections Canada can prepare for the 2019 federal election. '
