Referral to the Police
The Electoral Commission has referred the following matter to the Police:
- ACT on Campus ‘Not your typical party’ flyer, baseball cap and t-shirt.
It is the Electoral Commission’s view that the publication of the ACT on Campus flyer, baseball cap and t-shirts constitutes a breach of sections 204F and 204H of the Electoral Act 1993 because the items are election advertisements that did not contain a valid promoter statement and were not authorised in writing by the ACT party secretary.
As this matter is now with the Police, the Electoral Commission will not be commenting further.
