Funding Model

 

The WA Electoral Commission is partnering with the Department of Treasury and Finance to develop an ongoing funding model for the effective planning and delivery of elections. A number of recommendations relate to this funding model and all will be considered as part of this work. Completion of this work will be dependent on Government Budgetary considerations.

Read the Government response to these recommendations.

Recommendation 2

The WA Government consider legislative changes to the funding model of the WA Electoral Commission under the Electoral Act 1907 (WA) to give the WA Electoral Commission a statutory right (‘demand power’) to draw down on funds as needed to meet its operational needs.
