Local Government Election Report 2018
ECSA’s Report on the 2018 Local Government Elections was tabled today in Parliament.
As well as providing a detailed account of the elections, the Report contains 21 new recommendations designed to improve the delivery of future council elections.
Key recommendations include:
- changing the timing of local government periodic elections so they do not occur within the same year as a state election.
- introducing a more common-sense approach to authorisation requirements for electoral material.
- replacing overseas and interstate postal voting with an electronic system for the delivery and return of ballot papers.
