Bulletin 9 - ballot open, have your say - issued 12 September 2024

The ballot for the proposed Northern Territory Public Sector Educators’ 2024-2027 Enterprise Agreement PDF (1.1 MB) has now opened.

It is important that you have your say by voting on the proposed agreement.

Your vote needs to be received prior to the ballot closing at 10:30am on Thursday 19 September 2024.

Make your vote count

All employees are entitled to vote. You do not have to be a union member to vote in the ballot.

Every vote is important and can make a difference, and I encourage you to take part in this ballot by casting your vote.

How to vote

You should have received an email from the Northern Territory Electoral Commission (NTEC) with instructions on how to vote electronically using the 'Netvote' system.

If you haven't received an email, or need assistance, you should email NTEC at netvote.ntec@nt.gov.au or call 08 8999 7641.

You will need to provide your AGS number to NTEC to verify your identity. NTEC can also provide assistance if you have any questions in relation to the voting process.

Northern Territory Electoral Commission

NTEC is an independent authority who manages the ballot process and counting of the votes.

The NTEC ballot process ensures that all employee personal details remain confidential, and that voting preferences cannot be identified.

The ballot count will be conducted at the NTEC Office in Darwin, Level 3 TCG Centre 80 Mitchell Street.

I will advise employees of the ballot result via a bulletin and a notice on the NTPS non-contract principals, teachers and assistant teachers enterprise agreement negotiations.
