Election Commissioner Service

The Huu-ay-aht First Nations seeks an independent Election Commissioner to administer and oversee all aspects of their general election in accordance with the Huu-ay-aht First Nations Election Act. The contractor will perform duties such as developing election schedules, managing voters' lists, issuing election notices, appointing election officials, certifying results, and submitting a final report. The contract period spans one year, and the work requires onsite performance in Canada. Only onshore Canadian vendors are eligible to apply. Applicants must submit proposals containing an overview of their qualifications, relevant election administration experience, key personnel, references, approach to administering the election, a proposed budget with fee structure, and disclosures of potential conflicts of interest. The buyer will evaluate proposals based on election administration experience (40%), experience with First Nations governments or Indigenous organizations (30%), and cost effectiveness (5%). Applicants should send proposals and questions to Alexis Young, Acting Law Clerk.
