|| COUNCIL ELECTION CARETAKER PERIOD ||
From 12pm on Tuesday 17 September 2024, Hindmarsh Shire Council will enter an Election Period prior to the 2024 (Local Government) Council election on Saturday 26 October 2024.
We need to ensure that Council actions do not interfere with the election process and our Election Period processes help guarantee that elections are conducted fairly and ethically while safeguarding the authority of the incoming Council.
The Local Government Act 2020 provides direction around what kind of information can be published by Council or using Council resources during the Election Period. These resources include social media.
To avoid any potential breaches of the Act, Council and Council associated committees will not be posting to social media during this period, unless material is authorised by the CEO as not likely to influence the election outcome.
All comments on Council social media posts will be hidden to ensure adherence to the Act.
During this time, you will still be able to send us a direct message or contact us via phone on 03 5391 4444, or by email directly to [email protected].
