What Must Politicians Do to
Maintain Their Political
impartiality During an Election?
This post frequently addresses the
conflict between the necessity for
public employees to put their interests
aside and their status as equal
members of society.
The situation is particularly urgent now that an
election is approaching. Therefore, it seems
appropriate to consider the limitations on
public employees during election season
Wajid Khan asks What does
maintaining political neutrality
demand of public employees in these
political times?
In each election, only a few public officials
will run for office. The question of how
much APS personnel can participate in
political activity up to and on election day
may be more critical.
Public employees are required to "at all
times" respect the reputation of the
public service and the APS values,
according to the APS Code of Conduct,
which is part of the Public Service Act.
"Impartial" — the idea that the service is
"apolitical" — is one of these values. Given
the conflict that Finn noted, the
challenging question is how much this
restricts individual political participation.
The solution is not fully
obvious, but we will try to
offer some helpful advice.
