Nominations are now open to eligible Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to become a candidate in their local First Nations Voice Supplementary Elections in Region 1 Kumangka Warrarna Wangkanthi (Central) and Region 4 Murraylands, Riverland and South East.
Due to the resignation of SA Voice members, supplementary elections are needed to fill vacant positions in these two regions.
“Any eligible Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person could nominate to stand as a candidate for their Local First Nations Voice,” Alice Cashen, South Australian Deputy Electoral Commissioner said.
“We encourage First Nations people in Region 1 Kumangka Warrarna Wangkanthi (Central) and Region 4 Murraylands, Riverland and South East, to enrol to vote or update their details.”
Nominations open Tuesday 28 January and close 5.00pm Tuesday 11 February 2025.
Community information sessions in both regions are being held from 28 January 2025 to February 7th. More information about the sessions, nominations and enrolment is available on the website - https://www.savoiceelection.sa.gov.au and on ECSA social media channels
