Election Clerk Role

Election Clerks are appointed in each electoral division to provide election management support for the Returning Officer. The Election Clerk, under the guidance of the Returning Officer, assists in the administration of the relevant legislation in the electoral division and ensures all staff and election officers adhere to all requirements set out in legislation.

The Election Clerk assists the Returning Officer in preparing for the election, recruiting returning office staff, establishing a returning office and conducting the election.

If the Returning Officer becomes ineligible or unable to continue in their role, the Election Clerk shall be appointed as the Returning Officer.
