Election Culture Committee

A little bit about the Committee

The Election Culture Committee works closely with Guild Council and the Western Australian Electoral Commission to identify shortcomings in our electoral processes and opportunities for improvement

Key areas of focus for the committee include voter experience, candidate wellbeing and upholding the values and expectations of the University and the Guild. The Committee investigates and makes changes to our election processes to ensure the Guild elections can be a positive experience for voters and candidates alike.
