Electoral advertising

There are a range of regulations that apply to electoral advertising, authorisation of electoral material and the display of election signage at polling places.

Third parties should ensure they fully understand election signage regulations before they display any signage at polling places.

State elections are subject to a media blackout period. The ECQ does not regulate media blackout laws. If you have questions about the blackout periods, contact the Australian Communications and Media Authority.
