Media visits to polling locations

If you wish to gather footage, take photos, or otherwise cover activities at the polling place, please take note of the following guidelines: 

  • Arrangements must be made in advance with the Chief Electoral Officer and the returning officer(s).
  • Media must inform the returning officer of their presence upon arrival.
  • The Poll Supervisor will inform the election officers and voters about media presence.
  • Media must wait until the elector votes and exits the polling place.
  • Media visits must not block voter access, or cause interference, or cause disorder in the polling place. Visits must be brief.
  • Cameras cannot go behind the voting screen. No pictures or videos of the ballots can be taken, so the secrecy of the vote isn't compromised.
