Early voting centres
Campaigning is prohibited within 10 metres from the entrance to an early voting centre, but the NT Electoral Commission (NTEC) may also designate an alternative prohibition zone.

Election day voting centres
A 100m prohibition of canvassing zone applies to all election day voting centres across the Territory. The NTEC may designate an alternative prohibition zone. Canvassing for votes of any kind is not permitted within the prohibition zone. No campaign material can be placed on fences or road verges and footpaths within the prohibition zone.

Designated campaign areas
A designated campaign area (DCA) is a place where campaigning activity is allowed within the prohibition zone at election day voting centres. The Electoral Act 2004 allows the NTEC to designate an area to be a DCA in a place where campaigning activity is permitted.
The DCA is to provide voters with the option to access campaigners and campaign materials within the prohibited zone, it must be in an area that is avoidable by voters who do not wish to engage with campaigners.
