Annual performance statements
The annual performance statements detail the AEC’s performance against each of the six agency directions. They include a result per criterion—either ‘met/on track to be met’, ‘partly met’ or ‘not met’—and an explanation.
The performance statements for 2018–19 are signed off by the Accountable Authority.
Statement by the Electoral Commissioner
I, as the Accountable Authority of the Australian Electoral Commission, present the 2018–19 annual performance statements of the Australian Electoral Commission as required under paragraph 39(1)(a) of the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act 2013. In my opinion, these annual performance statements are based on properly maintained records, accurately reflect the performance of the entity, and comply with subsection 39(2) of the Act.
