Table 34: 2019 federal election automatic payments to political parties and independent candidates
The Electoral Legislation Amendment (Electoral Funding and Disclosure Reform) Act 2018 (FAD Reform Act) introduced changes to the way election funding is paid. These changes first applied to the federal election held on 18 May 2019. Election funding entitlements are calculated as at the 20th day after polling day and an automatic payment is paid to eligible candidates and political parties as soon as practicable after that day. For the federal election, the 20th day after polling day was Friday 7 June 2019 and the automatic payment amount was $10,080.
To receive election funding greater than the automatic payment, the agent of the eligible political party, candidate or Senate group must lodge a claim with the AEC setting out the electoral expenditure incurred.
Election funding claims for the 2019 federal election can be lodged from 7 June to 17 November 2019. Details of the amounts paid are published on the Transparency Register as claims are determined.
The following table lists the political parties and candidates that received the automatic payment.
