Request for Expressions of Interest, Local Elections Contractors and Mentors

The LGMA receives numerous requests for names of individuals willing to administer or assist with General Local Elections, by-elections and other elector assent processes on behalf of a local government. In preparation for the General Local Elections taking place in October 2026 and in light of the number of by-elections that will be taking place before then, the LGMA is seeking to develop a database of individuals interested in taking on this paid contractor position with a local government. The database will be provided to local governments, upon request, who are looking to contract out the administration of their elections.

The LGMA is also seeking individuals who are willing to serve as a mentor to provide guidance, as required, to other local governments during the election process. Please note the Mentor role is an unpaid position. If you are interested in including your name on the database as either a contractor and/or mentor, please complete this form. By completing the form, you give the LGMA permission to distribute this information to local governments upon request. Please also note this database may also be requested for election processes before and beyond 2026.

Your expression of interest for this contractor or mentor role, or any questions you may have, can be forwarded in confidence to Sonia Santarossa.
