A registrant has various responsibilities under the scheme. In general terms, the responsibilities are to:

  (a)   promptly report any material changes affecting the registration and any disbursement activity undertaken on behalf of the foreign principal; and

  (b)   during the voting period for a federal election or designated vote--review the currency of information provided by the registrant and promptly report about certain registrable activities undertaken during the voting period; and

  (d)   renew registration annually for so long as the person remains liable to register under the scheme; and

  (e)   keep proper records.

In addition, any person who undertakes communications activity that is registrable in relation to a foreign principal must make a disclosure about the foreign principal. This applies whether or not the person is a registrant.
