2025 Elections Timeline
Triennial school board elections are happening again in September this year, but you need to get the process started much earlier than that. The very last day you can appoint a Returning Officer is the 9th July but we recommend getting this sorted well in advance to make sure the process goes as smoothly as possible.
Our recommended election date of 10th September means we can deliver election results before the end of Term 3, and means you need to appoint your RO no later than the 9th July.
