Campaigning

As with national elections, you and your campaigners should also have regard to the Electoral Commission's Code of Conduct available on their website.  This outlines what is, and what is not, acceptable behaviour at polling stations and in the community during the lead up to polling day.

In the run up to the May 2025 local elections, the EC are hosting advice surgeries for Candidates and Agents to support with candidate spending laws, practical aspects of the campaign, and completing spending return. The surgeries will provide a 20-minute, one-to-one slot for any candidates or agents who have questions or would like advice or guidance.

If you are aware of any potential candidates and agents who may benefit from attending this webinar, please forward this information to them.

The Surgeries will take place on 8th, 9th and 10th April 2025. If you would like to register, please complete this form.

If you have any questions, please contact pef@electoralcommission.org.uk
