The Electoral Commission of South Australia (ECSA) has appointed Hughes PR, a respected Adelaide-based communication management consultancy, to support public relations efforts for the 2026 State Election.
With over three decades of experience in strategic communication, reputation management, and crisis response, Hughes PR will play a key role in supporting ECSA’s commitment to integrity, transparency, and public confidence in the electoral process.
In an increasingly complex media landscape, where misinformation and disinformation pose real risks, Hughes PR will work closely with ECSA to proactively manage media relations and provide expert guidance.
The appointment followed a competitive procurement process supported by Dept of Treasury & Finance, Procurement SA, with final documentation signed earlier this week. Hughes PR’s expertise will be instrumental in helping ECSA navigate any new challenges presented during the 2026 State Election, scheduled for Saturday, 21 March 2026.
