State Superannuation Regulations 2001

When an election is to be held the returning officer is to —

draw lots to determine the order in which the candidates’ names are to appear on the ballot paper; and

cause ballot papers to be printed for each organisation entitled to vote in the election.

Each ballot paper is to set out —

whether the election is a regular triennial election or to fill a casual vacancy; and

the name of the organisation entitled to exercise the vote; and

the number of votes the organisation is entitled to cast, as determined under regulation 232; and

the names of each of the candidates in the order determined under subregulation (1)(a); and

instructions on how to mark the ballot paper; and

where, when and how the ballot paper is to be returned to the returning officer.

The time specified under subregulation (2)(f) as the time by which ballot papers must be returned must not be more than 28 days after the close of nominations.

Within 14 days of the close of nominations the returning officer is to deliver to the secretary (or a similar officer) of each organisation eligible to vote in the election a ballot paper initialled by the returning officer.
