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.

Event Date Term Dates
Close Main Roll Wednesday 25th June T2 Week 9
Call for Nominations by Friday 18th July T3 Week 1
Close Supplementary Roll Monday 4th August T3 Week 4
Nominations Close (at 12pm) Wednesday 6th August T3 Week 4
Voting Papers Issued by Wednesday 13th August T4 Week 5
Election Day Wednesday 10th September T3 Week 9

Accept Postal Votes until Monday 15th September T3 Week 10

Board Takes Office Wednesday 17th September T3 Week 10

Planning ahead ensures your school community has ample time to engage with the election process. Early appointment also allows us to prepare customized resources for your kura and establish a clear communication plan for community.
