4. Information for campaigners

Candidates, agents and campaigners at the East Surrey Council election must follow the Electoral Commission’s Code of Conduct for Campaigners.

The Code provides a guide for campaigners, electoral administrators and police forces to what is, and is not, acceptable behaviour at polling stations and in the community during the lead-up to polling day.  

The code also provides information relating to the offence of the handling of postal voting documents by political campaigners and the requirement of secrecy for postal voters.
