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.
