Submitting nominations electronically

The Returning Officer (RO) will include an electronic delivery statement on the notice of election.

This statement will set out the arrangements that the RO has in place for nomination papers to be delivered electronically.

The arrangements provided by the RO will be either:1

  • an email address that you can send your nomination papers to
  • a service which you can use to submit your nomination papers online 

If you choose to deliver your nomination papers by email, you should ensure that you use the email address specified for that purpose as provided in the electronic delivery statement. It is your responsibility to ensure that the RO receives your nomination forms in the correct way by the required deadlines.

Delivery of your nomination to an email address not specified for that purpose will result in your nomination paper being considered not delivered as required.

As far as is possible, you should should attach all the forms required for your party list nomination to one email.
