Funding and Disclosure Reform Program The purpose of the AEC is to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters. As part of this, the AEC regulates the Commonwealth Funding and Disclosure Scheme. The government has introduced legislative amendments to address recommendations of the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters (JSCEM) related to this scheme. The Funding and Disclosure Reform Program was established in March 2025 to enable the AEC to implement the legislative amendments to the scheme. Under the program, the AEC will develop modern, agile and scalable IT platforms, uplift AEC capability, policy and processes consistent with its evolving regulatory role, and deliver a comprehensive package of communications and guidance to support stakeholders transition to new legislative obligations. | 2026 Medium | Active | NFP | NFP | March 2025 to June 2028 |
