When to use this form

If the nomination contestant's campaign has a surplus, the financial agent must notify Elections Canada within seven days of disposing of the surplus.

This form is used when the campaign has a surplus, but a Nomination Contestant's Campaign Return (EC 20171) did not need to be filed. That is the case when the campaign accepted contributions totalling less than $1,000 and incurred expenses, not including transfers to affiliated political entities, totalling less than $1,000.
