Fees Explanation

The fees are divided into 2 parts:

Part 1: Profile Development Fee
This fee pays for the development of your Candidate Profile (position statement, personal profile, picture gallery, videos, link to your own web site, etc) and future updates you make. This fee is only ever paid once. There are no additional fees for updating or adding additional information to your profile.

Electorate Sites will open and be included here (under the heading 'Electorate Sites') as soon as the first Candidate Profile has been developed.

See 'Quick Start Guide' (below) in what we require to develop your Candidate Profile.

Part 2: Advertising Fee
This fee is only payable once the 3rd Candidate profile has been added to your own 'Electorate Site'. As soon as 3 Candidate profiles are present, advertising commences in your own local newspaper(s) promoting your 'Electorate Site'. 80-100% of the combined Advertising Fees for any Electorate Site will be used solely for this print media advertising. As more Candidate profiles are added to your own Electorate Site, it therefore stands that more Advertising Fee revenue is put directly into your local newspaper advertising.

If any Electorate Site does not achieve featuring at least 3 Candidate profiles, then no Advertising Fee is payable because local newspaper advertising will not be undertaken.
