  • 2008 State General Election Report
    2008 Western Australian State General Election WESTERN AUSTRALIAN Electoral Commission Election Report FOREWORD Western Australian electors went to the polls on 6th September 2008 to elect the 38th State Parliament. The distribution of State electoral boundaries determined on 29 October 2007, reflecting one vote one value principles, came into effect for this State general election. This report provides details about the processes involved in the conduct of the 2008 State general election by the Western Australian Electoral Commission. The State general election is a significant event in terms of logistics and human and administrative resources, held over a very short timeframe. This was starkly evident at this election which was called some 6 months earlier than the expected time of February 2009. It is noteworthy that for the 20 general elections held since the Second World War only one has been held this early. Compounding this challenge in delivering election services was the minimum time of 31 days from writs to polling day, the impact of significant electoral district boundary changes and a tight labour market affecting staff availability and experience. The State general election is one of the bigger events in Western Australia. In 2008 over 1.3 million electors were involved, an increase of approximately 6% since 2005. A total of 10 registered political parties and 472 candidates for the Legislative Assembly and Legislative Council contested the election. There were 796 ordinary polling places across the State, 58 intrastate, interstate and overseas and a further 59 polling places in remote areas serviced predominantly by air. While the majority of electors chose to cast their vote in person on polling day, there was an increasing trend to vote early or use postal voting for convenience.
