Political Activity
Political Activity refers to conduct by a public officer that engages party-political campaigning, advocacy, or partisan action in a way that may conflict with the duty of impartial public service.
Why the rule exists
Public administration depends on political neutrality in the execution of official duties. Restrictions on political activity help preserve confidence that officers serve the State and the public fairly, regardless of the government of the day.
Why it matters
Political-activity rules become especially important for senior, policy, regulatory, investigative, and supervisory roles. Agencies should document approvals, restrictions, and any breach investigation carefully.
