The NTEC’s page is monitored between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays), with extended hours if necessary during elections. The page has been created to increase public awareness of electoral events in the Northern Territory. As the NTEC is an independent and impartial electoral organisation, there are five simple rules for posting:
1. Please don’t post abou

To make sure our page does not influence or prejudice any election, we can’t allow political comments to appear.
2. Please be respectful, and consider other points of view if commenting on a post. We can’t allow content or links to content that could be considered offensive, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise not appropriate for an audience of all ages.
3. Please don’t post any of your own or anyone else’s personal information. If you need to enrol or check your electoral enrolment, visit www.ntec.nt.gov.au or call 1800 MYVOTE (1800 698 683) and one of our staff will assist you confidentially.
4. Please keep any comments relevant to the NTEC, or the services the NTEC provides.
5. Please don’t spam or try and advertise on our page. We reserve the right to delete any comments that don’t comply with our rules, or which are otherwise deemed inappropriate. Any users who repeatedly break these rules may be blocked. Posts and content attributed to the NTEC are authorised by I. Loganathan, Electoral Commissioner, Level 3, TCG Centre, 80 Mitchell Street Darwin.
