Important message from the RTBU NSW about AEC ballot papers

A number of technical errors have occurred with the ballot papers and with the mailout for the NSW RTBU Elections.

The elections are conducted independently by the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC). The RTBU has not been involved in the mailout or ballot paper process.

The AEC will conduct fresh elections for the affected positions after 24 September 2018 and the elections for the unaffected positions will continue in accordance with the published timetable with voting closing on 24 September 2018.

The AEC is yet to advise which positions it intends to run fresh elections for.

 Therefore, the most important thing you can do is fill out your ballots and return them to the AEC as you normally would.
