TOWNSHIP DEPARTMENT INFORMATION TOWNSHIP DEPARTMENT INFORMATION 16 Zorra Now | Spring 2026 Zorra Now | Spring 2026 17 What is a Third Party Advertisement? Third Party Advertiser Information A third party advertisement is a paid advertisement in any medium (billboard, newspaper, radio, electronic, etc.) that supports or opposes a candidate. Third party advertising does not include issues-based advertising so groups that do public outreach can continue their issued-based advocacy work throughout the municipal election period. Advertising that does not cost money to post or broadcast, such as comments made on social media, will not be considered to be third party advertising. Who is a Third Party Advertiser? A third party is any individual, corporation, or trade union that is not a political party, candidate or constituency association, and that engages in political advertising. Third parties include corporations, partnerships, unincorporated businesses and associations, and many other groups. Who can register as a Third Party Advertiser? Individuals, corporations and unions can register as third party advertisers and can also make contributions to third party advertisers. Third party advertisers will need to register with the municipality where they want to advertise. Registration allows a third party advertiser to promote or oppose any candidate that the electors in the municipality can vote for (local council, school board trustee positions and regional or county council offices). Third party advertising must be done independently of candidates, who are not able to direct a third party advertiser. Candidates are not able to register as third party advertisers.
