Congratulations to all re-elected and new members of the Assembly. Special congratulations to Tom Emerson and Fiona Carrick, our first independents elected since 1998.
Counting for the ACT election has completed, and with the final distribution of preferences under legislated scrutiny, the Electoral Commissioner has announced the elected candidates who will represent the ACT’s five electorates in the Eleventh ACT Legislative Assembly.
Without published polling, its anyone's guess if Labor's Andrew Barr can secure a fourth term as ACT leader or whether the Liberals can end 23 years in exile.
The 2024 ACT Election is scheduled for Saturday 19 October. On election day, many schools will serve as polling stations, with Parents and Citizens’ Associations (P&Cs) in Canberra running BBQs, bake sales, and other activities to raise funds for their school programs and initiatives.
On Saturday this week, the ACT will elect a Legislative Assembly to govern us for the next four years, and the Business Chamber is looking forward to working with all our new and returning MLAs as we aim to make Canberra the greatest place in Australia to do business.
