Election signage
Election signage
There are restrictions on the number, size and placement of election signs at polling places for state elections.
Candidates may display at a polling place –
- during early voting – up to 2 small signs
- on election day – up to 6 signs (maximum of 4 large signs).
Small signs measure up to 900mm x 600mm on each side. Large signs measure up to 1830mm x 1220mm on each side. Signs can be displayed in either portrait or landscape orientation.
Registered political parties and their endorsed candidates share a combined sign quota.
Signage must be at least 6 metres from the polling place entrance and must not be displayed before 5am on election day.
All signs must be authorised.
Election signage displayed more than 100 metres from a polling place is not regulated by the ECQ. Please refer to:
- your local council – for signs on local roads and private property
- the Department of Transport and Main Roads – for signs on state-controlled roads.
