Enforceable undertakings

The AEC is required to publish enforceable undertakings on the Transparency Register.

An enforceable undertaking is a legally binding agreement that may be entered into to resolve non-compliance or improve compliance with Part XX of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918. Enforceable undertakings are designed to secure effective remedies to address non-compliance without the need for court proceedings or as an alternative to civil penalties.
