Voting Photos of Party Leaders
Voting Photos of Party Leaders
Media Release: Monday, July 26, 2021
Elections Nova Scotia – Registered party leaders and the candidates running against them may arrange a time with Elections Nova Scotia to allow members of the media to film or photograph them as they cast their ballots.
Section 94(1)(g) of the Elections Act states: media representatives authorized by the Chief Electoral Officer, upon request, to be present and to film or photograph registered party leaders and the candidates running against them, as they cast their ballots.
Other filming and photography is not permitted within returning offices and voting locations.
Filming and photography of registered party leaders or the candidates running against them may only take place when other voters are not present.
Arrangements by registered party leaders and the candidates running against them must be made by calling Naomi Shelton at Elections Nova Scotia in advance of the day, not through the returning officers in the electoral district. It is the responsibility of the registered party leaders or the candidates running against them to invite the media if they wish.
Elections Nova Scotia is a non-partisan and independent agency responsible for conducting provincial elections. For more information, please visit electionsnovascotia.ca, call 1-800-565-1504, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter @electionsns.
