Electoral Matters calls for community input at November hearings in Dapto and Parramatta

THE Electoral Matters Committee is inviting community input on the recent Federal Election at its upcoming hearings.

Committee Chair, Jerome Laxale MP said, "I’m excited to be bringing these hearings home to New South Wales. The committee has already learned a lot from some of the eye-opening submissions coming out of the State.

"We really want to keep hearing from community members about their experiences during the 2025 Federal Election. These community statements can tell you so much about how our elections can leave an impact on people’s lives."

The committee will be holding hearings in Dapto (November 19, 2025) and Parramatta (November 20, 2025). As part of these hearings, members of the public will be invited to get on the record by making short verbal statements of up to five minutes.

"We want to hear from you about your 2025 election experience, whether you have put in a submission or not," Mr Laxale said.

"You will just need to tell us what you wish to talk to the committee about and a bit about how you participated in the election. The more people we hear from on the day, the better informed the committee will be," he said.
