Guidance for Candidates and Agents at UK Parliamentary general elections in Great Britain

Campaigning dos and don'ts

This section sets out activities that candidates and their supporters can carry out during their campaign, those they should carry out, and things that they must not do.  

The RO will have covered the standards of behaviour expected from candidates and their supporters during the election campaign and on polling day as part of their briefing for candidates and agents. You should contact the RO if you were not able to attend the briefing for details of their briefing.

For information about acceptable campaigning activities see our Code of conduct for campaigners
