City officers and employees may only participate in certain kinds of political activity. The Board of Ethics has developed guidance to describe what is allowed. For more information, view Board Regulation 8, the Board of Ethics’ Election Activity Quick Reference site, and the resources below.
Elected officials are not bound by these regulations. More details can be found in the Philadelphia Home Rule Charter, 10-107(3).
