Illustration for Electoral Act 1993

If you are someone who is owed money for election expenses, you can ask the District Court for permission to pay the claim even if the time to pay has run out. The District Court can give the registered promoter permission to pay a claim that was sent in late, as described in section 206Y(1), or a claim that was not paid on time, as described in section 206Y(2). The District Court can also give permission to pay a disputed claim if an action was not brought within the time specified in section 206Z(1)(b). If the registered promoter pays the money as ordered by the District Court, it is treated as if it was paid on time, according to section 206Y(2). You should be aware that any payments made will be subject to the rules outlined in the relevant sections of the Act.
