Council adopted the Electoral Advertising and Electioneering Policy at its meeting on 24 June 2024. Thank you to everyone who provided feedback.
We’re checking in with you about Darebin’s Election Period Policy
All councils have a policy like this – it’s intended to ensure Council staff and councillors observe legislative and governance requirements in the lead up to an election. It keeps elections fair for all candidates.
Ahead of the councillor election in October this year, we’ve reviewed our Election Period Policy (Chapter 11 of Council’s Governance Rules) and made some minor administrative updates.
About the changes
We’re proposing these changes to ensure that:
- All information is clear and easy to understand
- Terminology is clear and easy to understand through the addition of a definitions table
