An amendment to the Electoral Funding Act 2018 makes it unlawful for a person to make or accept a political donation in the form of cash over $100.

This new category of unlawful political donation is in effect from 1 January 2020.

As is the case with other unlawful political donations, any unlawful cash donation accepted by a person is payable to the State and may be recovered by the NSW Electoral Commission.
