Nomination Forms
Nomination forms are available by clicking the download button or click here.
Please ensure you nominate using the current nomination form available by clicking the link above or from the forms and downloads section of the Members Website. Please do not use nomination forms circulated with previous emails.
The nomination form has been revised since nominations were opened for the 2020 local government elections and series 1 of the 2021 elections, and nominations lodged on a previous version of the nomination form will not be accepted. It is your responsibility to ensure you are using the current version of the form.
Please contact the Party Affairs Team if you have any questions regarding the nomination form or process.
Media Regulations
Members are reminded of the Division’s media regulations with regard to making public comments on nominations and pre-selections.
No public statements, either written or oral can be made by party members in relation to party matters including the selection or contesting of seats.
If you have questions or are unsure whether a statement may breach the media policy please contact the Secretariat.
