**Nominations for the 2026 committee elections are open until 5pm (local time) on Friday 24 October 2025**
The ANZCA trainee committees report to the Education Executive Management Committee (EEMC) by considering training-related matters in their respective regions.
Elections for the ANZCA Australian regional trainee committees and the ANZCA New Zealand Trainee Committee take place annually. All ANZCA trainees are eligible to vote and stand for election in their registered jurisdiction.
The next trainee committee elections are scheduled for October/November 2025. We will invite eligible trainees to submit nominations in October 2025. We will then hold an electronic election in November for each of the regions where the number of nominations received exceeds the number of vacancies.
The results of the elections are sent to the EEMC for ratification.
Trainees voted in as chair of their respective regional or national committee form the ANZCA Trainee Committee.

An election will be called if the number of nominated candidates exceeds any available positions, as per Regulation 16 (16.4.5).
It will vary slightly from year to year, but voting will generally take place over two weeks in late October or early November.
If an election is called, details and advance notice will be given to all voting trainees. Trainees will be invited to vote for their preferred candidates during a specific period (usually 14 days) in late October or early November.
We use a secure third party electronic voting service called Election Runner to manage the ANZCA trainee committee elections.
During the polling period (usually 14 days), you will be able to access candidate bios and statements and cast your vote. It's easy to use, and you can vote from any location on any device.
Once the ballot has closed and results are known, all candidates will be contacted immediately by the regional co-ordinator to advise them of the result.
The results of the elections are sent to the EEMC for ratification.
