Other Matters
Returning Officer actions required (Section 193): Yes Details:
- As there is no rule pertaining to the withdrawal of Nomination, the Returning Officer applied s193(1)(b)(ii) of the Fair Work (Registered Organisations) Act 2009 to fix a closing time for the withdrawal of nominations, which was set for the close of nominations.
- Rules regarding the timetable of the election were set aside as the AEC held concerns that the coronavirus pandemic may impact on the ability for stakeholders to fully participate in the election. A timetable for the conduct of the ballot which varied from the rules was set when the AEC was satisfied that stakeholders would be able to fully participate.
