432. The official agent of every candidate shall, within 90 days after polling day, deliver to the Chief Electoral Officer, a return of all his election expenses in the form prescribed by the Chief Electoral Officer.
The return must be accompanied with the invoices, receipts and other vouchers, or certified copies of those documents, a list thereof and a declaration in the prescribed form.
In the case of an independent candidate who was not elected, the return must be filed at the same time as the financial report contemplated in section 122.
If the official agent has appointed deputies under section 408, the return must be accompanied by the deeds of appointment, including any changes made to them.
In the case of a candidate who does not declare any election expenses, the return referred to in this section need not be delivered to the Chief Electoral Officer. A letter attesting that no election expenses have been incurred, signed by the candidate’s official agent must instead be delivered to the Chief Electoral Officer.
This section does not apply to an independent candidate who is not authorized.
