During the election period I will be available to candidates who may wish to discuss nominations and other electoral related information. My contact details are 0419 543 847 and lgro_wiluna@elections.wa.gov.au, and the best time to contact me are listed in the table above.

Candidate packs are available on the WAEC website www.elections.wa.gov.au

 

Submitting a nomination

  • The Summary Information for Candidates guide outlines nomination eligibility criteria.
  • Candidates must have completed the mandatory Local Government Candidate Induction course BEFORE finalising their nomination and recorded the reference number and date for nomination purposes.
  • Use the Nomination Builder on the WAEC website www.elections.wa.gov.au. It allows you to enter your details, write up your profile up to 1,000 characters including spaces, and your 2,000 characters candidature profile which must be written in English. Upload your optional passport sized photo.
  • Nomination Builder provides you with an easy method to input and edit your profile and place your photograph in a document ready for its display on the local government’s website.
  • Once you meet with me to submit your profile it will not be corrected by me if it does not contain any information that I consider to be false, misleading or defamatory and does not exceed the allowable 1,000 characters, including spaces.
  • All you need to do, when you have finished editing it, is print it out, sign and submit with your nomination deposit of $100.00 (cash, bank cheque or postal note) to me. If meeting at the LGA during opening hours the $100.00 can be paid electronically to the LGA cashier.
  • You may also submit additional relevant information of not more than 2,000 characters that will be published on the local government’s official website. The relevant information is optional but if you choose to provide it, it must be submitted with your nomination. This information can be entered into Nomination Builder.
  • You MUST submit your nomination papers, relevant information and nomination deposit to me by 4pm on the close of nomination date.
  • A mandatory Code of Conduct applies to all council members. The code also applies to all candidates. We recommend that you don’t leave your nomination until the last minute as if it is incomplete, it may not be accepted.

 

After you submit your nomination

  • You are entitled to receive copies of two electoral rolls – the owners and occupiers roll and the resident’s roll. These rolls can only be used for electioneering purposes.
