Mr Clements, who was forced to resign earlier this year over sexual harassment claims, has been served with a court attendance notice to appear at Sydney's Downing Centre Local Court on June 7 charged with two breaches of the Parliamentary Electorates and Elections Act.

According to a statement issued by the NSW Electoral Commission, the commission alleges that a former senior NSW Australian Labor Party official in May 2015 disclosed protected information for a purpose not permitted under the act.

The statement goes on to say that "in June 2015, the man used the information, that had been lawfully provided by the Electoral Commissioner ... for a purpose not permitted under the act".

Mr Clements faces potential fines of $22,000 for each breach of the act.

Earlier this year Mr Clements told News Corp: "I have never accessed any information from the electoral roll. No information was provided to Derrick Belan. These claims are false and part of an attempt to smear me."
