HALIFAX — Nova Scotia’s governing Progressive Conservatives outpaced their rivals in fundraising last year, though the NDP had more individual donors.
Elections Nova Scotia says the Tories raised $1,157,677, the Opposition NDP collected $839,465, and the Liberal party received $633,163.
The annual report lists the name and community of each person who contributed $200 or more, and the amount donated to each political party, riding association and registered candidate.
Donors are limited to giving a maximum of $5,000 to an individual party, its riding associations and candidates — but can donate to multiple parties.
The Tories had the highest average donation, at about $1,105 per donor, while the average for the Liberals was $826 and for the NDP it was $689 per donor.
However, the New Democrats had the highest number of individual donors who gave them $200 or more, with 1,218 people listed in that category, ahead of 1,048 for the Progressive Conservatives and 766 for the Liberals.
