Reconciliation Action Plan
The Reflect RAP sets out ECSA’s commitment to reconciliation and the actions it will take to build the organisations understanding and recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islands cultures, histories, knowledge and rights.
This RAP is the starting point of ECSA’s reconciliation journey.
ECSA has a proud history of collaborating with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities throughout South Australia to ensure they can exercise their rights to participate in electoral events, including the APY Executive Board and the SA Local First Nations Voice to Parliament elections.
This Reflect RAP aims to build upon and consolidate these previous efforts, enshrining reconciliation as a core priority for ECSA in the lead-up to future State, Local Government, and other First Nations elections. It represents ECSA’s commitment to continually improving its effectiveness in working with diverse Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities—whether remote, regional, or urban—and delivering electoral services that meet their needs.

Voter Alerts
Voter Alerts via email or SMS are free electoral reminders to ensure you have the best opportunity to “Make your vote count – and vote.”
Timely reminders are sent straight to your phone or email inbox for elections you're able to vote in.
Be scam aware. We will never ask you to enter your credit card details or make a payment through a website.
It is OK to contact us to check it is really us.
Sign up for Voter Alerts
Your Voter Alert is linked to your electoral enrolment, so you'll only get reminders for an election you're able to vote in.
You can check your details on the electoral role – this page explains (linked)
ECSA uses emails (when available) to also engage with first time youth voters, to support in the education of the voting process.
Check my enrolment
Be aware that if an election has already commenced in your area, you won't receive messages until the next election. This is because voter data had been extracted as at the "close of roll" date.
VoterAlerts are a prompt that occasionally, due to circumstances outside our control, may be delayed or not received.
A delayed or unsent VoterAlert does not excuse you from voting.
How to manage a VoterAlert
We use the personal information you give to us to maintain the register of electors and prepare electoral rolls for state and local council elections. We may use your email and mobile phone number to send you notifications and reminders for elections and other electoral events in your area. We do not share your contact details with anyone else, unless the law requires us to. There is more information about this on our Privacy page and in our privacy policy.
Protect yourself from scams
Scammers sometimes send people messages pretending to be organisations like ECSA. Here are some tips so you don’t get tricked.
Check the sender
If you get an SMS from us, the sender will always be ECSA (not a number). You can not reply to these messages. If you get an email from us, the email address will be
Check the SMS content
Our messages will always be for information only. We will NEVER ask for your personal information, banking details or any kind of online payment.
