STATEMENT REGARDING ELIGIBILITY OF ELECTION CANDIDATES
Issued 29 January 2026
South Australian Electoral Commissioner, Mick Sherry has issued a clarification regarding the determination of election candidates’ eligibility.
A recent ECSA statement offered an initial view of eligibility when responding to a media query about public funding.
The final determination regarding candidate eligibility will be made once nominations have been received and assessed against the requirements of the Electoral Act and Constitution Act.
Nominations for the State Election open on 23 February 2026 and eligible House of Assembly candidates are declared on 2 March 2026.
I do not intend to provide a running commentary on individual prospective candidates in the meantime.
