Election Planner Tool

The Election Planner Tool is used by boards to organise their school's board election campaigns, to ensure the elections are run well, and the most is made of the opportunity to involve your community. 

The timeframe for elections is prescribed in legislation and is used for this tool.

  • All parent elections run to a legislated 63 day schedule.
  • Staff elections held at the time of triennial elections run to a 63 day schedule
  • Staff by-elections are run to a 31 day schedule.
  • All student elections run to a 31 day schedule

Use the appropriate planner tool below to help manage your election.

Please note

If there is the same or fewer nominations than positions available voting is not required.  This is called a non-voting election.  The election is over on the day that nominations close. All nominated candidates are elected to the school board.  The elected members will take office 7 days after the nominations close date.
