The Tasmanian Government is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Andrew Hawkey as Tasmania’s Electoral Commissioner.
Mr Hawkey has held the position of Tasmania’s Deputy Electoral Commissioner since 2010, where he has been responsible for managing Tasmanian Parliamentary and local government elections.
He will take over the position from Mr Julian Type, who announced his retirement late last year.
Mr Hawkey’s achievements include managing the development and implementation of an electronic counting system for local government councillor ballots, coordinating the development of extensive electoral education resources, and developing new polling place manager training resources for the 2014 House of Assembly elections.
Mr Hawkey has commenced the role from today.
I would like to thank Mr Type for his dedicated contribution to the TEC and wish him all the best in his retirement.
