Research shows that many voters need more information about candidates so they can make an informed decision when they vote.
This website will include your candidate profile statement and photo, as submitted with your nomination. You also have the opportunity to tell voters more about yourself and what you stand for, as well as provide your thoughts on a range of topics. Voters will be able to compare your views with those of other candidates.
You can also provide a link to a two-minute personal statement video.
This site is subject to moderation as described in the disclaimer. Content that is returned to you by the moderator must be amended and returned to the moderator by the closing date below, or it will not be uploaded to this site.
You have access to these pages until 11:30pm on 11 September. From then, you will not be able to make any further changes.
Good luck with your campaign and thank you for taking part in this voter education website.
The purpose of this website is to provide information to voters, including how to vote and who is standing for election in their local area. As set out in the Local Electoral Regulations, the Council can publish or display candidate profile statements as submitted with your nomination on its website (or in any other manner that we consider appropriate).
This election, the Council is offering candidates the opportunity to provide some information in addition to the candidate profile statement which may assist voters in learning more about their candidates. This content is not intended to be an “election advertisement”, to provide any candidate with any benefit over another, or to apply council resources for the purpose of electing any one candidate. This is a platform which is equal for all candidates to use, and we encourage everyone to participate.
In addition to your candidate profile statement, you have the opportunity to give your thoughts on a selection of provided topics. We have intentionally selected broad topics, where possible, to accommodate all candidates’ views and backgrounds. You may feel free to focus on a specific area of interest to you within each topic. Remember, the purpose is to introduce yourself, not to talk about others. Please only provide information that is about you (including any group or organisation with which your candidacy is affiliated, or your status as an independent candidate), your policies and intentions if elected to office.
We ask that you are polite and respectful with your comments and views and that you focus on issues, not personalities. This means not using any threatening, defamatory, offensive, disrespectful, rude, or abusive language; making direct personal attacks or disclosing personal information or details of elected members or staff or members of the public; including objectionable material; and unsolicited advertising, marketing or spam. By providing any content on this website, including any links to other websites, you represent that you own that content or have the right to publish the content on this website and to grant the Council the right to reproduce and make the content available and publish the content on its website. No content you provide will breach the copyright or other rights of any third party. We may choose not to publish content if it is deemed to violate any of our terms of use or the rules set out in the Local Electoral Act. If any of your content falls in to this category, we will contact you to discuss how you may choose to proceed.
