The writ
The writ is a document which commands the returning officer to hold an election and specifies the dates for the close of nominations, polling day, and the last possible date for the return of the writ.
House of Assembly elections begin with the proclamation dissolving the House of Assembly and end with the return of the writ.
The Governor issues five writs for a House of Assembly general election, one for each of the five divisions: Bass, Braddon, Denison, Franklin and Lyons.
