ACT Electoral Commissioner Phillip Green says one hundred and forty one candidates have been nominated to contest the 15 October ACT Legislative Assembly election.
With the close of nominations yesterday Phillip publicly declared the nominations and conducted the draw for positions on the ballot paper at midday today.
“This number of candidates is record for an ACT Legislative Assembly election,” Phillip said.
“The previous highest number of candidates was 117 at the first election in 1989.
“A total of 123 candidates were nominated by registered political parties. Another 18 non-party candidates were nominated by at least 20 electors.
“In 2012 there were 74 candidates contesting the 17 positions in the then 3 electorates.
The numbers of candidates for the 5 electorates for the 2016 election are:
- Brindabella
Total: 28 Male: 19 Female: 9 - Ginninderra
Total: 33 Male: 22 Female: 11 - Kurrajong
Total: 27 Male: 17 Female: 10 - Murrumbidgee
Total: 29 Male: 16 Female: 13 - Yerrabi
Total: 24 Male: 16 Female: 8 - Total
Total: 141 Male: 90 Female: 51
Under the ACT’s Robson rotation method of printing ballot papers, the order of the printing of candidates’ names within each column will vary on each ballot paper. Each of the 5-Member electorates is printed in 60 different ways.
The 2016 election is the seventh to be conducted under the Hare Clark proportional representation system which was chosen by ACT electors at a referendum in 1992.
