A Wellington lawyer says complaints about early advertising for council elections in October are coming from people who don't actually know the rules.
Wellington Mayoral candidate Paul Eagle has been told to remove billboards touting his candidacy, after complaints to the Wellington City Council.
Electoral Officer Warwick Lampp has also said the billboards should be removed, because of a long-standing policy saying the ads should only be posted six-weeks before an election.
Electoral law expert Graeme Edgeler spoke to Corin Dann.
