Australian Electoral Commission
Research relating to democratic participation and the administration of Australian elections is conducted by a range of different individuals and bodies throughout Australia. This often includes Australian academic institutions and dedicated research organisations.
In addition, international research and experiences can be important inputs when considering electoral matters domestically.
The AEC conducts dedicated research projects when there is a sufficient business case to do so, taking account of relevant and appropriate external research on the same, or similar topics. It is often the case that external organisations have the ability to explore electoral topics is a more fulsome way than the AEC is able to given the agency's strict, politically neutral, role in the electoral landscape.
The AEC acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
