Electoral registration officer complaints

The electoral registration officer (ERO) and the returning officer (RO) are officers of the council, although are not accountable to the council when

• performing electoral registration duties
• performing election duties

It is important you know the integrity of the electoral process and understand how the process is handled when the ERO and RO work outside of the council.

It is also important we meet corporate standards about electoral complaints.

Please note: The Local Government Ombudsman does not have jurisdiction over the ERO or the RO.
