Candidate statement

If you are a candidate, you are invited to submit an optional statement (up to 400 words) and photo. Make sure your statement is received by noon on Thursday 4 August 2022 so that it can be sent to voters with the voting papers.  The returning officer may remove or edit any part of the candidate’s statement if it exceeds 400 words or is offensive or defamatory.

The electoral roll is held at the school office and can be viewed during normal school hours.

Anyone can stand for election to the board, except for some exclusions. Please check information on who is not eligible. If not enclosed, ask the returning officer for this. If you are not on the voting roll you must be nominated by a person who is.

 

Scrutineers

A candidate may nominate a person to sit with the returning officer during the vote count to make sure it is done correctly. Scrutineers are also required for electronic elections if a recount is needed. Please advise the returning officer in writing of your scrutineer’s name and contact details before election day. Candidates cannot be scrutineers.
