The proposal would amend the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 to require all registered political

candidates, or associated entities to declare all (cumulative) donations received above $1,000 within
3 months, and above the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) threshold (currently $14,500) within
5 business days.

The proposal would be ongoing and commence 1 July 2023.
