Associated entities

Registration must be received by the NT Electoral Commission no less than 5 days before an election.

It is an offence if an associated entity intentionally fails to register and receives a gift or incurs electoral expenditure. Additionally, it will be an offence if an associated entity does not notify the NT Electoral Commission of changes to their details in the register within 30 days.

An updated financial disclosure system was introduced in 2020 to ensure elections are transparent and free from external influence.

Associated entities must:

• submit financial disclosure returns
• disclose gifts received, including non-monetary gifts (gifts-in-kind)
• disclose electoral expenditure
• remain within the expenditure cap
• ensure loans are compliant
• maintain records.

The associated entity's registered officer may appoint a reporting agent for financial disclosure. However, if there is no appointment in force for an associated entity, the financial controller of the entity is taken to be the reporting agent.
