About ECANZ

ECANZ considers issues about the development and maintenance of the electoral roll for Commonwealth, State, Territory and Local Government elections and matters of electoral administration, which have implications for Australian and New Zealand electoral authorities.

In 2012, the ECANZ replaced the previous Electoral Council of Australia (ECA). Some material on this website relates to the ECA and will be updated and replaced progressively.
