A third-party advertiser is any individual, corporation, or trade union registered with the municipal clerk that causes an election campaign advertisement to appear that promotes, supports, or opposes a candidate in any form of broadcast, print, electronic, or other medium and is separate from any candidate’s campaign.

Being registered in a municipality allows the third-party advertiser to advertise to the voters in that municipality in support or opposition of any candidate or candidates who will be voted on by the people in that municipality. This includes candidates running for local council or as a school board trustee.

To become a third-party advertiser in the 2026 Municipal and School Board Election, you must register with the municipal clerk of the municipality where you wish to advertise. Registration is open beginning May 1 until the close of business on October 23, 2026.
