The election period begins 32 days before voting day and ends when we declare the results.
During municipal elections, we:
- remain impartial
- use resources appropriately
- provide fair and equal treatment to all candidates
- continue essential services to the community.
About the policy
Our policy limits certain activities during the election period, such as:
