Today, the Speaker of the House of Representatives issued the writ for the Farrer by-election to the Electoral Commissioner – formally commencing the by-election period. This follows the earlier announcement of Farrer by-election dates.
The enrolment deadline is now just days away. Farrer residents need to be correctly enrolled by 8pm on Wednesday 8 April.

While nomination forms for the by-election have been available for some time to enable early preparation, from tomorrow intending candidates can submit their completed nomination paperwork to the AEC.
*A ballot draw to determine the order of candidates on the ballot paper will also be conducted on Tuesday 14 April. Find out how this works.
Looking for some extra money? Live outside of major regional towns?
We’re recruiting more than 700 staff to help us run the by-election. We have paid roles available across Farrer but we are particularly interested in people to put up their hands if they live in Albury, Balranald, Finley, Griffith, Mathoura, Tooleybuc or Wentworth.
All jobs are paid, no experience is needed and we pay you to train. Register your interest on the AEC’s website.
