The Electoral Education Centre turns 21!

15 May 2013 is a big day for the Electoral Education Centre, marking 21 years of providing fun and engaging electoral education for Western Australians of all ages.

Since 1992, the Centre has provided electoral education services to over half a million people. This includes nearly 200 000 primary and secondary school students and over 25 000 adult learning students who have visited the Centre and over 300 000 students and adults who have been visited by Centre staff at their school or community group.

New Acting Electoral Commissioner

Mr Warwick Gately AM  resigned as Electoral Commissioner on 26 April 2013 to take up the position of Victorian Electoral Commissioner.

Mr Chris Avent, Deputy Electoral Commissioner, will be acting Electoral Commissioner until the formal process for appointing a new Electoral Commissioner is completed.

Re-counts in two Legislative Council regions

Martin Aldridge and Dave Grills, both of The Nationals, were elected at re-counts held on
5 April 2013 to fill vacancies in the Agricultural Region and Mining and Pastoral Region respectively.

These vacancies arose due to the resignations of Mia Davies and Wendy Duncan to contest the lower house seats of Central Wheatbelt and Kalgoorlie respectively, to which they were both elected.

Both of these positions are for the current term of the Legislative Council, which expires on
21 May 2013. From 22 May 2013, both members will remain in the Legislative Council, having also been elected at the recent 2013 State General Election for those regions.
