Casual Vacancy Ms Katy Gallagher formally resigned from the Assembly today. The Electoral Commissioner has received official notification of the casual vacancy from the Speaker of the Assembly, Mrs Vicki Dunne MLA. The name of the candidate elected to replace Ms Gallagher in the ACT Legislative Assembly should be known by the middle of January. Legislative Assembly vacancies are filled by conducting a ‘count-back’ of those ballot papers that elected the vacating member. In effect, those electors who voted for Ms Gallagher determine her replacement.
