Electoral advertising

Electoral advertising

All third parties must ensure that they are aware of all regulations relating to:

• the broadcast and publication of electoral advertising
• the authorisation of electoral material.

While federal and state elections and referendums have media blackout periods, these do not apply to local government elections in Queensland. The ECQ does not regulate media blackout laws.
