It is acceptable during the promotion period.
Having a website (or mailing list or whatever) prior to the event to
measure interest, gather interested people to help put the bid
together or get info about what people might like to see in a bid -
all fine. None of those things are promotional activities. Many
committees have done that, and I have often encouraged and even
assisted them.
Having a fully-fleshed out bid and using it to generate new voters for
the event is going beyond the limits of acceptable.
