Pre-election period
Whilst the pre-election period is not defined in an Act of Parliament, restrictions are placed on local authorities (applicable to Commissioners and their Deputies too) by the Code of Recommended Practice on Local Authority Publicity, which refers to periods of heightened sensitivity during elections.
Much of this sensitivity is about exercising greater care to observe laws and rules which apply in any event, but recognising that public bodies/offices are likely to come under greater scrutiny at election times.
