Independent inquiry into the management of the 2025 WA State Election

The WA Electoral Commission welcomes the announcement of the independent inquiry into the management of the 2025 WA State Election by Government.

We recognise this will deliver to Government and the community a better understanding of the events on election day and any contributing factors.

The WA Electoral Commission is relied upon to administer the critical democratic function of the WA State Election on behalf of the WA community, and we recognise that on this occasion community expectations were not met.

Acknowledging that the important work of the WA Electoral Commission continues in order to finalise the WA State Election and to prepare for upcoming local government elections, the Commission looks forward to proactively cooperating with the Inquirer over the coming months.
