EDS operates online at www.ecq.qld.gov.au and replaces traditional paper-based forms. It aims to streamline the disclosure process while increasing transparency surrounding gifts.<br><br> All entities conducting or supporting political activity in Queensland are required to submit a disclosure return to ECQ. These include ‘real time’ reporting of gifts and loans, as well as periodic reporting of other dealings such as advertising and expenditure<sup>1</sup>. EDS also makes these returns readily available to the public, providing faster and easier access to political financial disclosure information.<br><br> Introduction of EDS is an outcome of ECQ’s ongoing commitment to the people of Queensland, to drive improvements to election services and meet changing community needs. <br><br><sup>1</sup>Disclosure requirements are detailed in the <i>Electoral Act 1992</i> and the <i>Local Government Electoral Act 2011</i>; additional information is also available at <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200721231337/http://www.ecq.qld.gov.au/">www.ecq.qld.gov.au</a>.<br><br> </center></h5></div> <div class="container"> <section class="section knowledge-base"> <section class="categories blocks"> <ul class="blocks-list"> <li class="blocks-item"> <a href="/web/20200721231337/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us/categories/115000599008-Access-Without-Registration" class="blocks-item-link"> <h4 class="blocks-item-title">Access Without Registration</h4> <p class="blocks-item-description"></p> </a> </li> <li class="blocks-item"> <a href="/web/20200721231337/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us/categories/115000599028-Registered-Users" class="blocks-item-link"> <h4 class="blocks-item-title">Registered Users</h4> <p class="blocks-item-description"></p> </a> </li> <li class="blocks-item"> <a href="/web/20200721231337/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us/categories/115000599068-FAQs" class="blocks-item-link"> <h4 class="blocks-item-title">FAQs</h4> <p class="blocks-item-description"></p> </a> </li> <li class="blocks-item"> <a href="/web/20200721231337/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us/categories/115000599048-Help-Downloads" class="blocks-item-link"> <h4 class="blocks-item-title">Help & Downloads</h4> <p class="blocks-item-description"></p> </a> </li> </ul> </section> </section> <section class="section activity"> <div data-app="recent-activity" data-url="/web/20200721231337oe_/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/api/internal/recent_activities?locale=en-us"></div> </section> </div> </main> <footer class="footer"> <div class="footer-inner"> <a title="Home" href="/web/20200721231337/https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us"><img src="//web.archive.org/web/20200721231337im_/https://theme.zdassets.com/theme_assets/1502021/f7642b99f718a66134ed9d57a09e4591cd3350bc.jpg" alt="Logo" class="logo-footer">Electoral Commission of Queensland</a> <div class="footer-language-selector"> </div> </div> </footer> <div class="powered-by-zendesk"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="26" height="26" focusable="false" viewbox="0 0 26 26"> <path d="M12 8.2v14.5H0zM12 3c0 3.3-2.7 6-6 6S0 6.3 0 3h12zm2 19.7c0-3.3 2.7-6 6-6s6 2.7 6 6H14zm0-5.2V3h12z"/> </svg> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20200721231337/https://www.zendesk.com/help-center/?utm_source=helpcenter&utm_medium=poweredbyzendesk&utm_campaign=text&utm_content=Electoral%20Commission%20of%20Queensland" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Powered by Zendesk</a> </div>  <script src="//web.archive.org/web/20200721231337js_/https://static.zdassets.com/hc/assets/en-us.e2a144f39cd05cc4b324.js"></script> <script src="https://web.archive.org/web/20200721231337js_/https://edshelpcentre.zendesk.com/auth/v2/host.js" data-brand-id="4379868" data-return-to="https://helpcentre.disclosures.ecq.qld.gov.au/hc/en-us" data-theme="hc" data-locale="en-us" data-auth-origin="4379868,true,true"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* Greetings sourcecode lurker!
