Under electoral law, local returning officers are responsible for all matters in connection with the conduct of Presidential elections and referenda in the constituencies for which they are responsible. The detailed arrangements in relation to the conduct of elections, including the provision of furniture, are set out in the Electoral Act 1992. The Office of Public Works provides procurement services for returning officers in respect of election equipment required by them.
