SASSLA engages the Australian Electoral Commission to conduct a yearly election of Board Members. Nominations are sent to all members in January of each year via the Electoral Commission. After nominations are received a postal ballot is forwarded to all members in March of each year. Members are elected for a two year term, with four members being elected one year and five members being elected the next year. This arrangement ensures continuity of Board Members each year.
