Non-partisanship

Elections Yukon requires all employees to be non-partisan for the entirety of their appointment. This means not engaging in political activity at the municipal, territorial, provincial or federal level.

Examples of partisan behaviour include:

  • Being a member of a political party
  • Working for a political party
  • Campaigning for a candidate running to be a Member of the Legislative Assembly (MLA)
  • Donating money to a political party, constituency association or candidate
  • Organizing, participating or attending a political fundraising event
  • Publicly voicing or expressing your support of a registered political party or candidate such as speaking at a public forum, placing a lawn sign on your residence, “liking” a social media post or “re-tweeting” comments on Twitter
  • Publicly expressing your political views in print media (letters to the editor) or social media (writing blogs, Facebook posts, Twitter tweets, Instagram photos or images)
