Staff Elections

Murdoch University has recently developed an electronic voting system for use in student and staff elections. The system is modelled on programs in use at other Australian universities.

This is a significant initiative that will allow for more efficient administration of elections – less paper, less staff time and less expense is involved in running the electronic system.

The system has been designed to meet the strict requirements of the Election Regulations. Votes, once cast, are entirely de-identified, so that it is not possible for any person to determine how a particular elector cast their vote. Vote counting is run through a separate program, and is not commenced until an election is closed.

For the operating specifications that are required to run the program on your computer please click here.

If you have any queries relating to the general operation and accessibility of the system (eg, pages not opening or links not functioning), please contact IT Help Desk on phone number 9360 2000 or email ITservicedesk@murdoch.edu.au. 

If you have queries in relation to a particular ballot (eg, your eligibility to vote for a specific position) please contact the relevant Returning Officer:
