Candidates Requests for Information Register
Council’s Election Period Policy requires that during the Election Period, Council will publish a Register listing all requests from candidates relating to electoral matters, and non-routine requests as well as the responses provided. The information will be published to the council’s website and updated daily, or as required.
Council recognises that all candidates in an election have a right to information held by Council. However, it is important that sitting Councillors continue to receive information that is necessary to fulfil their elected roles. Neither Councillors nor candidates will receive information or advice from Council staff that might be perceived to support election campaigns and there shall be complete transparency in the provision of all information and advice during the Election Period.
A Register of Requests for Information from Candidates (the Register) in the upcoming Council election will be kept from the close of nominations to the day of the election which will record requests by persons who identify themselves as candidates when seeking information from Council. The register will also record the responses provided.
The Register will be updated regularly by Council’s Governance team with all requests from candidates being added to ensure equity of information for all candidates.
Any enquiries regarding the Register can be directed to Council’s Governance team by phoning 02 60229 300 or by emailing [email protected].
