Additional Assistant Returning Officers

Additional Assistant Returning Officers

Returning Officers appoint Additional Assistant Returning Officers (AARO).

AAROs are located in communities without a resident Returning Officer. The AARO reports to the Returning Officer, or the Assistant Returning Officer, for that electoral district. 

On polling days, the AARO assumes the role of Deputy Returning Officer for their community.

Some of the responsibilities of the AARO may include:

  • providing elector information: how, when and where to register and vote;
  • making nomination papers available to individuals considering candidacy;
  • receiving nomination papers and candidate deposits and photos;
  • posting notices as directed by the Returning Officer; and
  • administering local polls, including special voting opportunities and regular polling day.
