‘Donations’ vs ‘Other Receipts’
Only some transactions in this dataset are officially considered donations by the AEC.
Many are listed as ‘other receipts’, which can be like a donation, but sometimes not. Confusing, right? Get the full story and find out how AEC disclosures work >
Rows link back to source data
Every row links back to a record on the AEC Transparency Register to allow for easier cross-checking.
A major AEC site redesign in 2020 broke most of our old links, but we’ve recently re-constructed them. Happy hunting.
