Following the historic passing of South Australia's First Nations Voice in March, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander South Australians will have the opportunity to elect their own representatives to the Voice body in September.
The nation-leading body is set to commence later this year, and preparations are now beginning in earnest to ensure the body is up and running.
The Minister for Aboriginal Affairs today confirmed the timeline for elections and the boundaries that will make up the six 'Local Voice' regions. Two presiding members of each of these elected Local Voices will form the State First Nations Voice.
In addition, the Government will commence a recruitment process for key staff who will be supporting the Voice's work.
People wishing to nominate to serve on a Local Voice will be able to do so between July 17 and August 7, ahead of First Nations Voice elections on September 9.
The Electoral Commission will soon be holding information sessions for prospective candidates ahead of nominations opening.
