Abori inal and Torres tr it lsi nder Election 1990 OnSaturday3NovemberAboriginalandTorres
Strait Islander people across Australia voted to elect
members of their own communities as their repre­
sentatives on fifty-four of the sixty Regional Coun­
cils of the first Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
Commission.
The elections, which were conducted by the
Australian Electoral Commission, were to fill be­
tween 10 and 20 positions on each ATSIC Regional
Council. In seven of the Regions elections were not
necessary as the number of candidates was less
than, or ~ual to, the number of vacancies.
A total of 1611 nominations were received for
790 vacancies on the Regional Councils. Voting
was not compulsory, and all votes were cast as
declaration votes, ie. each voter completed a state­
ment declaring his or her eligibility to vote (similar
to the statement made by absent and postal voters in
Federal elections), marked the ballot paper, in­
serted it in the declaration envelope and sealed it
before presenting it to a Liaison Officer. Liaison
Officers were present to assess the voter's eligibility
and to endorse the envelope before it was placed in
the ballot box.
A ballot paper was deemed to be formal if it
expressed the voter's preference for one, and only
one ca11didate, although voters could express fur­
ther preferences for as many candidates as they
liked.
Voting took place at 850 static and 400 mobile
polling places across the country, with a turn-out of
about 37,000 of the estimated 114,000 eligible
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
The elected members of the Regional Councils
will in tum elect 17 Commissioners to the Aboriginal
and Torres Strait Islander Commission. This election
will be conducted by mail and will be completed by
the end of February 1991.
. These 17 elected Commissioners, together .with
chairperson Lois ODonoghue and two Commissioners
appointed by the Minister for Aboriginal Affairs, will
form the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Com­
mission.
The Regional Councils will be responsible for
allocating Federal funds to local programs within the
ATSIC guidelines, and helping tb draw up and carry
put plans for improving the economic, social and
cultural life of their communities.
