Submitting your nomination papers

It is your responsibility to ensure that your nomination form and the consent to nomination are delivered to the place specified on the notice of election by 4pm, 23 working days before the poll.1 If you are appointing an election agent, you will also need to submit their appointment form by this deadline.

Who can deliver the nomination papers?

There are no restrictions on who may deliver your nomination papers, but we recommend that you, your agent or someone you trust delivers them, so you can be sure they are delivered to the Regional Returning Officer (RRO) in time.

You should contact the RRO as soon as possible to find out what arrangements are in place for submitting nomination papers. You will be able to contact the RRO via your local elections office. Contact details can be obtained from our website.
