Election signage

There are restrictions on the number, size and placement of election signs at polling places for state elections.

Registered political parties and their endorsed 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.
