Nominations for the upcoming local elections officially open this Friday, 15 July.

Council resources must not be used for candidate electioneering/campaigning purposes, and Council’s social media pages must remain non-political. Council will use social media to promote and encourage people to STAND for election, and to promote and encourage people to VOTE.

Any obvious electioneering/campaigning OR comments that can be taken as electioneering/campaigning will be removed and the writer blocked for the duration of the election period. All political comments OR comments that can be perceived as political either for or against any candidate and/or potential candidate will be deleted, and the writer blocked for the duration of the elections period if commenting continues.

Sharing our Election STAND and VOTE promotional posts to your networks and community pages is welcomed.
