Blogs are advertising???
CBC reports that Elections BC considers Blogs advertising sponsors:
They’re supposed to register themselves as advertising sponsors if they post a partisan position on a candidate, party, or referendum question.
“Under the Election Act, it will fall within the definition of election advertising, and we would ask them to register,” says Jennifer Miller, of Elections B.C.
Miller says the volume of sites is overwhelming, and doesn’t rule out asking for a change to the Election Act.
Change to the Election Act? Good idea.
