Political Activities Regulations

8 (1) An allegation must be submitted to the Commission

• (a) in the case of an alleged contravention that began during an election period, within 30 days after the day on which the election period ended; or

• (b) in the case of an alleged contravention that began outside an election period, within 30 days after the day on which the person making the allegation became aware of the alleged contravention but no later than one year after the day on which the contravention began.

(2) Failure to make an allegation within the time frame prescribed in subsection (1) does not prevent the Commission from investigating the allegation if the political activity alleged to be improper would impair or be perceived as impairing the ability of the employee or deputy head against whom the allegation is made to perform their duties in a politically impartial manner.
