- of your -EVERY DAY.

Consider for a moment how daily life is improved by the many services councils provide. Imagine your community without roads and footpaths, parks and playgrounds, libraries, sporting facilities - the list goes on. Councils provide many services, programs and infrastructure for communities. The decisions about these services, programs, infrastructure and supporting policies, are made by an elected group of councillors.

Becoming a councillor presents the opportunity to influence local directions and create long term, positive outcomes within your community.

Being a councillor is a rewarding challenge - one which requires commitment, responsibility and accountability.

Many people in our local communities are capable of providing strong and strategic leadership. Local government can perform at its peak and make informed decisions when communities are represented by a diverse group of leaders. Diversity comes in many forms including backgrounds, experiences, culture, age and gender.

If you consider yourself to be invested in the future of your community, willing to learn and participate, and prepared to contribute strategically to decision making processes that benefit your broader community, then you should explore what it takes to be a councillor and nominate for council elections.

This booklet has been prepared to help

you appreciate the role and responsibilities of a council

member, understand the election process, and assist

you in deciding whether to nominate.

4 Information for candidates in South Australian council elections

The Local Government Association (LGA) and many councils offer free information sessions for prospective candidates in the lead up to the November elections. For more information visit the LGA website or contact your local council.

Who can become a council member?Most people are eligible to vote in local council elections, and as such, also likely to be eligible to stand for a position on council.

You can nominate for a position on council regardless of qualifications, religion, race, gender, experience or profession. In fact, councils encourage nominations by people from diverse backgrounds to ensure that a wide range of views are represented.

In South Australia there are around 700 council members who are as diverse as the reasons that motivated them to stand for election.

Eligibility criteriaAnyone can stand for election as a council member (either mayor or councillor) if they are:

an Australian citizen (or, if not a citizen, they were a member of a council between 5 May 1997 and 1 January 2000), and

an elector for the area or the designated person for a body corporate or a group which has its name on the voters roll for the area.

You are not eligible if you:

• Are a State or Commonwealth parliamentarian.

• Are an undischarged bankrupt or receiving the benefit of a law for relief of insolvent debtors.

• Are disqualified from holding office by a court order.

• Are an employee of the council for which you are considering nominating.

• Are a candidate for election in another council area.

• Have been sentenced to imprisonment and are, or could become liable to serve the sentence or the remainder of the sentence.

To be a councillor in South Australia you must meet the above eligibility criteria, however there is no restriction on people with dual citizenship.

If you have any doubts as to whether you are eligible you should contact your council or speak to the Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA) Deputy Returning Officer.

• Allowances and expenses

• Ethical and legal issues

Why diversity is importantCommunities are made up of people from different backgrounds with different needs and interests. This includes people from groups that have historically had less input in council decisions, including:

• Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people;

• people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds;

• people with a disability;

• women; and

• young people, aged 18 years and over.

These groups are underrepresented as candidates and council members in South Australia, and in other spheres of government elsewhere in Australia.

Increasing the diversity of people on councils to more closely mirror the communities they represent ensures that a wide range of views are heard, and:

• Supports sharing of different ideas, perspectives and beliefs.

• Enables consideration of different points of view.

• Encourages robust discussion that can test ideas, bring about greater understanding of issues, and result in better decision making.


Do you have what it takes?While there are no special qualifications or experience required to be on council, you should be passionate about your local community, willing to work as part of a team and keen to learn.Leadership skills are fundamental to working effectively on council and influencing the future direction of the local community. However, it is important to understand that councillors do not make decisions on their own. Decisions are only made by the council as a whole, which means you will be expected to work well with councillors.

This doesn’t mean you have to agree on everything, rather be prepared to engage in respectful debate on issues and build effective, professional working relationships.

The role of a councillorCouncillors serve the community by listening to residents and local businesses, representing their views on council.

You will work with council members to make strategic decisions about how the council will address the needs of the community. This will include setting objectives to meet local requirements, establishing priorities between competing demands, and deciding how resources should be raised and allocated.

Legislation and policies, together with the council’s strategic management plans, provide the framework for the ongoing management and operation of the council.

Councillors do not get involved in the day to day running of the council, which is the responsibility of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO).

To keep in touch with electors,

your commitment as a councillor may involve:

listening to residents and local businesses

Your role as a councillor will typically involve:

Taking part in discussions and decision making at council and committee meetings.

Reading council agendas and business papers to prepare for meetings.

Reviewing strategic plans, policies and budget information.

Being available to discuss and advise community members on individual concerns and relay these through the appropriate channels.

Participating in civic events such as citizenship ceremonies and awards.

Representing council on other bodies and meetings.

Visiting council facilities and liasing with the CEO on the progress of council projects.

Providing leadership within your community.

One of the most important roles you will have as

a council member is to participate in making

policy decisions - establishing the rules, regulations

and guidelines by which your community is governed -

within the parameters of laws set by State Parliament.


To keep in touch with electors,

your commitment as a councillor may involve:

Meeting residents and businesses to understand their views.

Monitoring the local media

to keep abreast of local news and issues.

Keeping yourself informed

about current state and national issues that may affect the area.

Attending meetings of local

organisations.

Taking part in a range of

local activities.


Allowances and expensesDuring your term on council you are entitled to an annual allowance. This is not a salary. The level of allowance is set by the SA Remuneration Tribunal every four years before council periodic elections. The amounts are adjusted annually by a CPI-based formula during the council term.

The Remuneration Tribunal was established in 1990 and determines the allowances of parliamentarians, judges and other statutory office holders.

The Tribunal is required to determine allowances by taking into account a number of factors, including the size, population and revenue of each council, as well as any relevant economic, demographic and regional factors.

As allowances vary between councils you should contact your council or download the allowances policy from your council’s website to find out what allowances apply in your council area. You should also investigate any taxation and Centrelink implications of receiving an annual allowance.

In addition to an allowance, you are entitled to receive reimbursement for some expenses incurred in the course of your duties as a council member. These expenses include travel and child care or care of dependents to enable you to attend council or committee meetings and functions.

Councils may also decide to reimburse other expenses such as telephone and internet costs incurred in the course of council duties. Your council’s allowances policy will explain what expenses you will be able recover.

Ethical and legal issuesCouncil members are public officers, exercising powers, functions and duties on behalf of the community. Council members are required to separate public interest from self-interest and to respect and uphold principles and laws designed to protect the public interest and to preserve public trust and confidence in government institutions.

If elected, you need to be ready and willing to meet the required standards of conduct including:

• Understanding and complying with laws that apply to the conduct of council members.

• Acting honestly and only using your position as a council member for proper purposes.

• Bringing an impartial and well informed view to every council decision.

• Declaring, and avoiding, making decisions on matters when your private interests, or those of your family, friends or associates conflict with the impartial exercise of your duties as a council member.

• Publicly disclosing specified information about your personal, family, business and financial interests.

• Submitting to public and official scrutiny of your conduct and decisions as a council member and reporting wrongdoing by others that relates to public office.


The Local Government Act 1999 sets out the general duties and code of conduct for members. It requires each council member, at or before the first meeting attended, to make a formal undertaking to carry out all duties conscientiously and to the best of their ability.

The community will often judge a council according to the behaviour and public image of individual council members. It is essential that council members conduct themselves in a way that is appropriate for elected community representatives. You also need to behave respectfully towards fellow council members despite any personal, policy or political differences you may have. Council members are public officers for the purposes of offences relating to public office under the Criminal Law Consolidation Act 1935. The offences most relevant to council members relate to bribery or corruption of public office, abuse of public office and demanding or requiring benefit on the basis of public office.

Under the Independent Commissioner for Corruption Act 2012 (ICAC Act), council members have specific obligations to report any reasonable suspicions of corruption or serious or systemic misconduct or maladministration.

As a council member you will have to declare any conflict between your private interests and your role as a public decision maker. The Local Government Act 1999 sets out what constitutes a conflict of interest and the actions you must take. Generally you will be required to leave a meeting if a conflict of interest arises.

Failure to comply with the various provisions under the law is a serious matter and will be dealt with by appropriate authorities including the District Court, Office of Public Integrity, SA Police or the Ombudsman. Penalties may include a reprimand, a direction to attend training, suspension, a fine, and/or disqualification from office. More serious offences, such as corruption, can result in penalties including imprisonment.

You are not personally liable for the actions of a council where it is acting in good faith and is exercising its powers and functions. You therefore cannot be personally sued by someone disputing a council action.

However, individual council members can be sued for defamation if you make comments which may damage a person’s reputation. You should not make statements about a person that you know to be false or if you are unsure if the information is true or false.

The Local Government Act 1999 sets out ways you may lose your position on council, including if you are declared bankrupt convicted of an indictable offence punishable by imprisonment, become a member of a State or Federal Parliament or become an employee of the council.

If you have been successfully elected you will have access to training and support to assist you to understand your duties and legal obligations.

You need to be impartial, aware of

your role and not take things personally.


ABOUT LOCAL GOVERNMENTThe three tiers of governmentThe three tiers of government - local, state and Commonwealth - work together in various ways to govern and provide services to the community.Although each tier of government operates differently and has very different powers and functions, each has an important role to play in Australia.

Local government is an elected system of government directly accountable to the local community. Councils possess unparalleled knowledge about the needs of their local area and for this reason, local government is often referred to as the ‘grass roots’ level of government.

Council funds, supplemented in some cases by funding from state and Commonwealth governments, are used to deliver a diverse range of services to their local communities.

A brief history Local government has been an important part of community decision making since the settlement of South Australia.The Adelaide Corporation, formed in 1840, was the first elected council to be established in Australia.

In 1887 the Parliament of South Australia introduced the District Councils Act which established local government in many areas of the state.

The South Australian Constitution Act, provides for a system of elected local government bodies. And the Local Government Act 1999 establishes the constitution, system and operational framework for local government in South Australia.

It is the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 that contains the requirements for council elections. It sets out how the elections

are to be conducted, who can nominate, who can vote, how the votes are counted

and other important matters.

Information for candidates in South Australian council elections18

StructureA council comprises:• A principal member of the council who is either

elected as a representative of the area as a whole, or a member of council chosen by the members. A principal member elected by the electors is called the mayor. A principal member chosen by the members of the council is generally called the chairperson, although the council may decide to use another title; and a

• A number of councillors – who, depending on how the council is constituted, may be elected to represent a ward (which is a specific geographic section of the council area), or to represent the council area as a whole.

If a council has wards it may choose to have both area councillors and ward councillors. If a council does not have wards, only area councillors are elected.

All council members are elected for a four-year term, and regardless of whether they are ward or area councillors, have a responsibility to consider the interests of the council area as a whole.

With the exception of the mayor, the members of a council are known as councillors or elected members. The term council member is used to refer to all members of the council including the mayor.

Council members combine to form the council that meets formally and makes decisions. Individual council members have no authority to make decisions on behalf of the council, it is the elected council as a whole that has this power.

The role of the mayor or chairperson is to:• Preside at meetings of the council.

• Carry out the civic and ceremonial duties of the office of principal member.

• Provide advice, if required, to the CEO between council meetings regarding the implementation of a decision of the council.

• Act as the principal spokesperson of the council (unless the council determines otherwise).

Council members are part of an incorporated body which has responsibility for carrying out the duties and exercising the powers conferred on the council by the Local Government Act 1999 and other laws.

The Act specifies that council members must:

• Represent the interests of ratepayers and residents.

• Provide community leadership and guidance.

• Facilitate communication between the community and the council.

HOW COUNCILS WORK


Relationship between council members and staffThe working relationship between council members and council staff is very important. Each have separate but complementary roles: • Council members decide the overall strategic

direction of the council and set the policies and plans.

• Staff, through the CEO, undertake the administrative actions required to achieve the council’s strategic directions, policies and plans.

Every council must appoint a CEO, who is the most senior member of the staff.

The CEO is responsible to the council: • For the implementation of council decisions and the

general administration of council functions and affairs.

• For employing and managing all other council staff.

• To act as an adviser to council members.

• To ensure the council acts within the law.

Understanding the differences in the roles and functions helps establish a trusting and mutually respectful working relationship between the council and CEO/the administration.

• Structure

• Relationship between council members and staff

• Meetings

My experience indicates that the best team to achieve

what a community desires is where the mayor and chief

executive officer understand their respective roles.

This ensures that both support each other’s roles and the council team and community benefit from a

whole team approach.

Russell Peate CEO Mid-Murray CouncilAs a councillor you will

be required to represent the views of residents and ratepayers to your council and in turn, explain council policy and decisions to community members. You will serve as a bridge

between the community and council. However, you will have no direct involvement in administration or

managing council staff, and no independent authority to act or make decisions on behalf of the council.


MeetingsCouncil meetings

One of the most important functions of a councillor is to attend and participate in the decision-making process at council meetings. Council meetings are held at least once a month. If you are absent from three consecutive meetings without council’s permission, you may be removed from office.

To contribute effectively to the decision-making process it is essential that you are prepared for meetings. Meeting papers and reports are often detailed so you will need to set aside sufficient preparation time before each meeting.

Whether you are a ward or an area councillor, you must assess the issues and make decisions in the best interests of your council area as a whole.

Decisions of the council are made by a majority vote of the members who are present and entitled to vote.

With the exception of the mayor, every member present at a council meeting must vote on every question (motions and amendments) arising for decision, unless precluded from doing so by the conflict of interest provisions of the Local Government Act 1999.

A mayor who has been elected by voters does not have a deliberative vote, but only a casting vote if the other votes are equal. Conversely, a principal member chosen by the council does have a deliberative vote but, in the event that votes are equal, does not have a casting vote.

Before you nominate for election, you should read recent agenda papers (available on your council website) and attend at least one council meeting (which are open to the public) to get an understanding of what is involved.

Committee meetingsCouncils establish committees to assist with the wide range of activities and functions for which councils are responsible, and to increase opportunities for community input in policy development.

In addition to councillors, committees can include community or skills-based members appointed by the council.

The roles and tasks of committees vary. A council may establish a committee to:

• Enquire into matters and provide and make recommendations to the council.

• Carry out a specific project or task on behalf of the council.

• Manage or administer property, facilities or activities on behalf of the council.

• Oversee works on behalf of the council.• Exercise, perform or discharge delegated

powers, functions or duties.

While there are many rewards associated with community leadership,

you will need to set aside sufficient preparation time

before each meetings.


Informal gatheringsCouncils can also hold informal gatherings to allow for discussion, undertake planning, deliver training, hold workshops or to encourage informal communication between councillors and staff. Where the informal gathering involves discussion of a matter that is, or is intended to be, part of a formal meeting of the council, the gathering must be open to any member of the public, unless the council or CEO has declared it to be a confidential informal discussion.

These gatherings are not formal council meetings and no decisions can be made at them.

External meetingsCouncillors may also be required to represent council on other bodies, for example, regional bodies, local organisations and school councils. This could also include representing local government at the state and national levels by involvement in the Local Government Association of SA.

You owe it to your community to make well-informed decisions.

It is important that you consider your commitments

carefully before deciding to run

for election.


The Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 sets out the requirements for council elections - how they are to be conducted, who can nominate, who can vote, and how the votes are to be counted. In South Australia the Electoral Commissioner is the Returning Officer for all council elections. The Returning Officer is independent of councils, and is responsible for running the elections and ensuring they are conducted in accordance with the law.

The Returning Officer appoints an ECSA and local Deputy Returning Officer for each council.

The Candidate Handbook produced by ECSA provides more information about the conduct of local government elections. Nomination kits will be available at council offices towards the end of August 2018.

Types of electionsThere are two forms of elections held in local government - periodic elections which are held on a regular four-year cycle, and supplementary elections which are held when a position becomes vacant, for example, because a council member has resigned or becomes a member of state or federal parliament.

All council elections are conducted by postal vote. The Returning Officer posts out ballot papers to all electors, who cast their votes and post them back.

The election process Eligibility to vote and nominate

You must be on the council voters roll to be eligible to vote and stand as a candidate in council elections.

If you are already on the House of Assembly (State) electoral roll (which means you vote in State elections) then you are automatically on the council voters roll for the address at which you enrolled.

However, if you are not on the House of Assembly roll or have moved to a new house you will need to enrol to vote or update your details prior to the close of rolls on Friday 10 August 2018.

You can update your details on the House of Assembly roll via the Electoral Commission of SA website.

Application for enrolment on the councils supplementary roll forms are available from your council’s website and the LGA website.

Nominating as a candidateIf you are interested in nominating to be a candidate refer to the Electoral Commission of SA Candidate Handbook which provides a detailed explanation of eligibility criteria, the nomination and Election process. Nomination kits will be available at each council office two weeks before nominations open.

VotingAfter voting closes the scrutiny and count begins. More details are available in the nominations kit available from your local council.

You may be eligible to vote and nominate if you own an investment

property or represent a body corporate or group in a particular council area, regardless of whether you live there.

In this case you will need to enrol before the close of rolls.

After nominations close on 18 September 2018, you should check with your council to find out if there are other candidates standing for election in the same area or ward as you.If no other candidates nominate, you will be declared elected unopposed and a campaign will not be necessary. However, you may still wish to provide electors with information about yourself, your policy views and promises.

If the area or ward is contested then you may want to organise a campaign to encourage people to vote for you.

What you need to knowBefore you begin campaigning you should gather some background information to ensure you understand:

CAMPAIGNING

How the election

is run

Who your opposition is

Any local issues and concerns

How many votes you are

likely to need to be elected

Your ward or area, including

maps and population data

Your council’s

current programs, strategies, plans

and policies

Laws and

regulations that relate to

council election campaigning


In addition to this guide, sources for this information include:

• The Candidate Handbook (provided in your nomination kit);

• Local Government (Elections) Act 1999;

• Electoral Commission of South Australia website;

• Local Government Association of South Australia website;

• Your council’s website; and

• Local newspapers.

You may wish to obtain a copy of the voters roll for your ward (or whole council area if you are standing for mayor or area councillor) from your council. The voters roll lists everyone who is eligible to vote in the council election and one copy is available to candidates after the close of nominations, until voting closes. If you wish to obtain additional copies your council may charge a fee.

Planning your campaignThe aim of your campaign is to encourage people to vote and vote specifically for you. Voting in council elections is voluntary and many people vote only if they are convinced that a candidate will make a difference.

Ballot papers are distributed 22-26 October 2018. A significant proportion of people complete and return their ballot paper straight away, so you should aim to have your campaign underway before distribution commences. While elections are competitive, candidates are encouraged to focus on their own positive messages, rather than making negative comments about opponents.

• What you need to know

• Planning your campaign

• Obeying the law

Be curious, be willing to learn and understand. You don’t need to know

all the answers.


Some key things to consider in planning your campaign include:• What issues will you campaign on.

• What you stand for and the message(s) you wish to convey.

• What resources (time and money) you are willing to commit to campaigning.

• Whether you wish to seek campaign donations or undertake fundraising activities.

• If there are other people you can enlist to help with your campaign.

• Whether there are high-profile individuals who might endorse your candidacy.

• If you want to have a scrutineer at the scrutiny and count.

You may also wish to investigate:• Contact details and editorial deadlines for local media.

• Costs for advertising in local media and/or digital advertising.

• Designers and printers to assist you with your campaign materials.

• Website developers to assist with your online presence.

• Establishing a social media presence on Facebook, Twitter or other platforms (separate to your personal accounts).

• Whether your council is hosting ‘meet the candidate’ events.

Some of the possible ways to get your message out to voters include:• Contact by telephone (electors you know or a random

selection from the voters roll).

• Preparing and ‘letterboxing’ a pamphlet/leaflet/postcard.

• Writing to electors (and/or to people you know well and asking them to give your pamphlet to other people).

• Door knocking.

• Speaking to local groups, clubs, resident associations, and community organisations.

• Visiting and talking to people at sporting grounds, shopping centres, train and bus stations and other meeting places.

• Promoting yourself within your existing networks such as church groups, sports teams, business customers.

• Seeking interview opportunities with local media – newspapers, radio stations or community TV.

• Submitting information to your local newspaper for candidate ‘profiles’.

• Placing paid advertisements in local media or online.

• Placing election signs around the neighbourhood (check with the council about restrictions before affixing any signs).

• Placing posters in local shop windows, on noticeboards and other venues (with permission).

• Speaking at public meetings and/or ‘meet the candidate’ sessions.

• Holding fundraising events at which you can promote your candidacy.

• Establishing a website and/or social media presence.

• Sending ‘bulk’ text messages or emails (where you have lawful access to contact information).


Having researched and assessed your strategies you should prepare a campaign plan setting out who will do what, when, and how much it will cost. This plan can be shared with your campaign team, and used to help manage the implementation of your campaign.

30 A guide for candidates in South Australian council elections

Preparing election materialsIn addition to your candidate profile, which will be sent to all electors with their ballot papers, you may wish to produce a leaflet/postcard to help promote your candidacy.

Ensure you read and understand the legal requirements relating to publication of electoral material, illegal practices and return of campaign donations which are mailed to you following the close of nominations.

Your promotional materials should be easy to read, concise, and clearly state the messages you wish to convey.

Consider including information such as:

• Your personal details – the type of work you do, your interests and background.

• Why you are standing for election – areas of concern, what you hope to achieve, your views about the area and its future development.

• Election details – the name of your council and ward, and key election dates.

• Voting details – how to mark and return ballot papers.

• Contact information – your address, phone number, email address, campaign website and social media accounts.

• A recent photograph of yourself. Once you have prepared your campaign material, ask others to read it to check for errors and provide feedback before it is printed.

If distributing printed materials to letterboxes you should respect signs indicating that advertising materials are not welcome.

Once finalised, the information in your leaflet can provide the basis for other promotional materials including website content, media releases and newspaper advertisements.

Signs and posters are a popular method of promotion during elections. Candidates may place election signs on road infrastructure (light poles and stobie poles) during the campaign, but these signs must comply with guidelines for the placement of election signs. Election signs may be put in place no earlier than four weeks before the close of voting, and must be removed within 48 hours of the close of voting.

Candidates must seek permission from relevant business owners and venue operators before displaying posters in windows or on noticeboards.

Promoting your candidacy onlinePeople are becoming increasingly reliant on the internet as a source of information for a wide range of topics, including elections.

The internet is also a relatively low-cost option for candidates to promote themselves and connect with voters.

Platforms such as Facebook and Twitter can be used to engage with residents, share information and respond to questions or concerns.

A simple blog or website can be used to share campaign messages expand on ideas in greater detail. It can also serve as a hub to connect your other online accounts.

Candidates with an online presence are able to provide a single web link (website or social media address) to the LGA for publication on the candidate website as part of their profile. If you wish to take advantage of this option, ensure that you include your email address on your nomination form. This will be used by the LGA to contact you with information about how to upload your web link.

After nominations close at 12 noon on Tuesday 18 September 2018, the LGA will email you seeking your link. You will have seven days to submit your website address to the LGA.

Candidates using the internet for promotion must be aware that any material published or broadcast during the election campaign is electoral material and must comply with the requirements of the Act.

All printed material, including election signs, must contain the names and addresses of the persons authorising and printing the material. See pages 34 and 35 for legal requirements.

engageCandidate profile versus candidate statementThe Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 refers to both a candidate profile and a candidate statement. These are two different things.

Candidate profileYour candidate profile is the 150-word description submitted to ECSA along with your photograph as part of your nomination for election.

Your candidate profile is printed and distributed with the ballot pack to all electors in the council area in which you are nominating. ECSA also provides your profile and photograph to the LGA to be published on the council elections candidate website.

Candidate statementYour candidate statement is the information you publish independently on the internet, as described earlier in this section. It can be linked to your candidate profile by providing a web link (social media or website address) to the LGA within seven days after the close of nominations.

Your candidate statement is optional and can contain any information you wish to provide to voters, provided that it complies with legislation.

You are responsible for creating and maintaining your candidate statement. The LGA’s role is limited to providing a link on the candidate website for voters to access your page.

Be confident, not arrogant.

Be open minded and curious of

other perspectives, not single minded.

engageDoor knocking etiquette In general, it is more likely that someone will vote in a council election if they have engaged directly with one or more of the candidates.

One of the most effective ways of direct engagement is doorknocking. However, it is also time consuming and there are some risks that need to be carefully considered and managed.

You should consider the following points before door knocking:

• Understand that your personal presentation is important.

• Prepare a brief introduction and be clear about the questions you wish to ask and/or messages you wish to convey.

• Undertake doorknocking on weekends or weekday evenings when more people are at home.

• Target areas most likely to produce results (especially those close to your own home).

• Expect to cover an average of 10-15 houses per hour.

• Respect any signs indicating that you are unwelcome.

• Expect a wide range of interest levels and responses.

• Be prepared for complaints and be able to suggest ways to address them with the existing council.

• Consider your own personal safety. For example, be aware of the risks of doorknocking alone at night.

When someone answers the door:

• Introduce yourself and briefly explain the purpose of your visit. If the person is busy, suggest another time or way of contacting you.

• Be friendly and attentive and listen to the issues people want to talk about. Explain your views politely.

• Finish your conversation by seeking the person’s support.

• Leave a card or leaflet behind. (For security reasons, if the door is unanswered, do not leave a note in a manner that would make it obvious to others that the house is unattended.)

Obeying the lawWhen planning and conducting your campaign it is essential that you comply with relevant legislation and regulations.

Electoral materialElectoral material is any advertisement, notice, statement or representation that is calculated to affect the result of an election or poll. While you may think first of election posters or brochures it also includes promotional shirts, meet the candidate events and social media posts.

Strict requirements apply to electoral material under the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999. Failure to comply with these requirements may give rise to an offence.

Section 27 of the Act states a person must not publish electoral material or cause electoral material to be published unless the material contains – (a) the name and address of the person who authorises publication of the material; and (b) in the case of printed electoral material – the name and address of the printer or other person responsible for undertaking its production.

Misleading material Where electoral material, published by any means, includes any purported statement(s) of fact, the person who authorised, caused or permitted the publication is guilty of an offence if the statement is inaccurate or misleading to a material extent.

If the Electoral Commissioner is satisfied that published electoral material contains inaccurate or misleading material, the Electoral Commissioner may request the publisher to either withdraw the material from further publication and/or publish a retraction.

Candidate profile The Local Government (Elections) Regulations 2010 require (among other things) that a profile must not refer to another person who has nominated as a candidate without the written consent of that person and must not comment on decisions or actions made or taken by the council, or on decisions or actions of past or present members of the council. This requirement is specific to the candidate’s printed profile and further details will be provided by the Returning Officer. A profile in breach of these provisions will invalidate a candidate’s nomination.

Use of council resourcesCouncil resources are not to be used for your campaign, including offices, support staff, equipment and stationery.

Violence, intimidation and bribery A person who exercises violence or intimidation, or offers or gives a bribe to induce a person to submit/withdraw candidature, or to influence a vote, or to interfere with the due course of an election, commits an offence. Any person who receives such a bribe is also guilty of an offence. “Bribe” is broadly defined to include a monetary sum or a material advantage, including food, drink or entertainment.

Dishonesty A person who dishonestly influences or attempts to influence the result of an election is guilty of an offence. A declaration of public policy or a promise of public action does not amount to bribery or dishonesty. The public declaration of an intent (if elected) to donate the council member allowance to a particular body or person would likely be seen as a form of bribery in the election process.

Interference Any person who hinders or interferes with the free exercise or performance of a right under the Act commits an offence against the Act.


Campaign donation returnAll candidates (whether successful or not) must submit a campaign donation return to the council CEO within 30 days after the election. The return must set out:

• The total amount or value of all gifts received.

• The number of persons who made those gifts.

• The amount or value of those gifts.

• The date each gift was made.

• The name and address of the person who made the gift. If the gift was made by an unincorporated association the name of the association and the names of the executive committee must be stated.

It is an offence for a candidate not to lodge a campaign donation return and you should refer to the candidate handbook produced by the ECSA for more information.

Standing for re-electionCurrent council members standing for re-election must be aware of additional requirements upon them under the Local Government Act 1999.

Section 91A of the Act requires councils to adopt a caretaker policy governing the conduct of the council and its staff during the election period.

Council members have a general duty not to use a facility or service provided by the council for the purpose unrelated to the performance of official functions or duties, such as for their election campaign.

Council members who are considering nominating for re-election should familiarise themselves with their council’s caretaker policy which is designed to ensure a level playing field and protect current members from exposing themselves to legal liability or suggestions of unfair advantage.

ComplaintsAny individual or organisation can make a complaint about an electoral offence under the Act. The complaint must be made in writing and submitted, with supporting evidence, to the Electoral Commissioner who will consider each complaint on merit.

The Court of Disputed Returns can consider a petition that disputes the validity of an election. The court has considerable powers as set out in the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999.

PenaltiesThe Local Government (Elections) Act 1999 specifies a range of illegal practices. Significant penalties may apply including fines of up to $10,000 or imprisonment for seven years.


Once the election is finalised the CEO will advise when the next council meeting will occur. You will be given at least three days notice of this meeting. The time between the end of the election and the first council meeting will vary from council to council. It may be almost straight away or could be as long as three weeks after. You should prepare yourself by learning about:

• The procedure for taking your place on your council.

• Meeting procedures set down in the Local Government (Procedures at Meetings) Regulations 2013 (a meeting procedures handbook is available from the LGA website).

InductionThe CEO will arrange an orientation and induction process for newly elected councillors. This may include:

• Further information about your role and responsibilities.

• General information about local government and specific information on how your council operates.

• A tour of the council area and facilities.

• Information on the organisational and operational structure including an overview of each of the functions or departments.

• Introduction to key staff members.

In the meantime, you may find it valuable to acquaint yourself with:

• The Local Government Act 1999 and regulations.

• Your council’s organisational structure.

• Strategic management plan and other associated plans.

• Policies and procedures.

• Current year’s budget and budget proposals for the following year.

• Most recent annual report.

Most of this information can be found on your council’s website.

The LGA website also provides a range of useful contextual information including research, policy, legislation, manuals, codes and guidelines, and training and development opportunities.

In particular, the Council Members Guide is a useful resource, as it is a practical guide to current local government legislation, practices and procedures. It is available through your council or from the LGA.

If your council does not have a formal induction program, you could make a time to meet with the CEO and mayor. Please refer to the training and development section on page 37.

Once you have been elected, you will be required to make a Declaration of Office before you are officially on the council. This is a formal declaration that you undertake to carry out your duties conscientiously and to the best of your ability. It is signed in the presence of a Justice of the Peace. This normally occurs at the first council meeting after the election.

NOW YOU’RE A COUNCILLOR


Each council has its own procedure for this ceremony. You may be asked to wear robes (if the council does so), read the declaration aloud or to give a short speech. If a speech is required, it is usually most appropriate to make a simple statement thanking your supporters and expressing your desire to contribute to the work of your council.

You must also complete a primary return of your financial and other interests within six weeks of the conclusion of the election, and an ordinary return (an update of changes to the primary return) each year. The CEO will brief you on the procedure as it applies to your council. For transparency and accountability purposes, your primary and ordinary returns will be accessible to the public via a register of interests maintained by your council.

As councillors have no authority in relation to staff, you should ask about the procedures for lodging enquiries regarding council works and services. You should also seek opportunities to meet your fellow councillors with whom you will be working for the next four years.

Training and developmentThe Local Government Act 1999 requires each council to have a training and development policy for council members, designed to support and equip councillors to carry out their duties effectively.

A mimimum of 7.5 hours mandatory training must be undertaken by new councillors. Modules cover the following topics:

• introduction to local government

• legal responsibilities

• council and committee meetings

• financial management and reporting.

In addition to mandatory training, the LGA offers a post-election training program to support council members in their ongoing professional development.

• Induction

• Training and development

It’s not about winning for yourself. It’s about looking at the bigger picture, taking stock of all the information and

facts, seeking community input and finding commonality with others

about what is the greatest benefit to the community.

MORE INFORMATION

“At times mum would give advice to those who wanted to enter either local government or seek election for state parliament. She would say to them: ‘Look at the big picture, do you have a vision,

do you have a commitment to that vision? Above all you need a commitment.

Do it to make a difference… don’t do it just for political gain because you won’t be there after the next election’.”

An excerpt from Michelle Baluch’s eulogy at the Adelaide Memorial Service for her late mother, Joy Baluch, former Mayor of Port Augusta and past president of the LGA.

Nancy Joy Baluch AM (10 October 1932 - 14 May 2013) was an Australian

politician who served as Mayor of Port Augusta from 1981 to 1993 and from 1995 until her

death in 2013. Her term as mayor of 29 years is believed to

be an Australian record.
