Campaign Organizer

A campaign organizer is an organization or an individual that undertakes or intends to undertake an election campaign to support or oppose a candidate or elector organization or proposed course of action advocated by a candidate or elector organization that is not run directly by the candidate or elector organization. A campaign organizer is also an individual who accepts, or intends to accept, campaign contributions in relation to the campaign.

Campaign organizers are bound by the same campaign fundraising restrictions and disclosure rules as candidates and elector organizations. The specific requirements regarding campaign finances are detailed in Division 8 - Campaign Financing - Local Government Act.

Any organization or individual who intends to undertake an election campaign, as part of the 2008 Local Government Elections, is requested to contact the Chief Election Officer to obtain additional information regarding these requirements.
