What it does
Elections Canada’s Electoral Integrity and Regulatory Policy Program strengthens the agency’s capacity to deliver on its mandate in a manner that is consistent with electoral integrity principles including accessibility, reliability, fairness, security, transparency, and independence. This includes providing integrity risk assessments and integrity assurance advice and developing policy instruments to support electoral operations and political registration and financing.

History and lineage
First appears in GC InfoBase's actual spending by program in 2022-23. The data does not record when a program was created; it may be older than its first appearance here, which is limited by the sources (program spending starts in 2010-11, Departmental Plans in 2018-19).
| Program | Relation | Years with data | Actual spending over those years |
|---|---|---|---|
| Electoral Integrity and Regulatory Oversight | Earlier program (name match, medium confidence) | 2018-19 – 2023-24 | $202M |
| Electoral Integrity and Regulatory Policy | This program | 2022-23 – 2028-29 | $11.1M |
Significant changes in scope and budget
Detected from the data: renames between plans, programs it appears to replace, merge with or split into (matched by name), year-over-year changes in spending of at least 25% and $5M, or in employees of at least 20% and 25 FTEs, linked budget measures, and results indicators added or dropped.
