Established in 2025, the purpose of the ERRN Research Council is to better enable the Network to assist electoral commissions in meeting their research needs. The Research Council provides a framework for electoral commissions to collaborate on selecting research themes and jointly fund the production of research on issues that affect the work of all commissions.

The Research Council thereby assists in achieving the central aim of ERRN to promote research relating to electoral regulation amongst academics, electoral commissions and other interested groups.

Current Members

The current members of the Research Council are the electoral commissions of New South Wales, the Northern Territory, Queensland, Tasmania, and Victoria.
