In partnership with the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland (EONI) and Royal Mail, we are hosting two information seminars ahead of the UK Parliamentary general election.
The seminars are an opportunity for candidates, agents and political parties to gain essential information on what they need to know to take part in the election, including information on the nominations process, the rules on campaign expenditure and how to make use of freepost services.
The seminars will take place from 7-9pm on Tuesday 16 February: Glenavon Hotel, Cookstown and Tuesday 23 February: Radisson SAS Hotel, Ormeau Road, Belfast.
If you would like to attend one of these seminars please confirm your attendance by emailing us or call 028 9089 4020.
Public opinion on political party finance in Northern Ireland
Over the last year we have been speaking to voters in Northern Ireland to hear their views on the transparency of reporting donations and loans in Northern Ireland.
This research was conducted through focus group research (pdf) and through additional questions we asked as part of tracking research on our public awareness campaign for the European Parliamentary elections (pdf).
Voter materials guidance published
Our recommendations to Electoral Administrators and the Government on how to make voter materials easier to use for voters when ‘making their mark’ at elections are now available. Access the guidance, which includes an example design resource for administrators, on our Do Politics site.
