New board members
Three new members have been appointed to the Board of the Electoral Commission.
David O’Connor, Murray Jack and Sue Elliott ONZM have been advising the Board since October 2025 in their areas of expertise of risk and assurance, innovation and change, and strategic communications in support of change.
They have now been appointed as full board members by the Governor-General on the recommendation of Parliament.
It will increase the size of the Board from three to six. The other members are Chair Simon Moore KC, Deputy Chair Jane Meares, and the Chief Electoral Officer and Chief Executive Karl Le Quesne.
