Education for adults

The Northern Territory Electoral Commission offers education programs, customised presentations and information sessions, as well as resources to government agencies, businesses, organisations and community groups.

English as a second language (ESL)

We have specific education programs for adults who do not have English as a first language. These programs use ESL teaching techniques, including simple visuals, hands-on activities and a mock election with a vote counting exercise to help develop understanding about:

• democracy
• three levels of government
• who can vote
• compulsory voting
• secret ballot
• democratic elections
• how to vote
• how votes are counted.
