Money And Local Democracy: Local Campaign Finance Regimes In Canada, Brittany L. Bouteiller
Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference
Prof. Zack Taylor plans to apply for a major research grant to research the effects of campaign finance regimes. To provide a comprehensive assessment and to lay the groundwork for the grant application, I collected data on 65 municipalities across Canada, which together comprise 50% of the national population, to determine their campaign donation and spending limits, candidate disclosure requirements, and availability of disclosure statements over the last 3 election cycles. As well, I looked at the number of candidates and offices available in each of the municipalities for the last 3 election cycles.
