Candidates in the 2020 Logan election have been warned of new state government laws to be introduced on November 18 this year.
The new laws rule all candidates running on a group ticket or for a political party must declare their allegiances.
Logan mayoral candidate Darren Power, says some Logan candidates were unaware of the changing laws and had surreptitiously formed teams.
“The legislation is very strict and unless candidates are informed they may inadvertently cross the line without realising it," Mr Power said.
Formally endorsing another candidate and sharing billboards or how-to-vote cards with individual candidates will be banned under the new legislation.
