On which Saturday will Kevin Rudd hold the federal election?
June 30, 2013
*** One of the most important decisions now for new prime minister Kevin Rudd is selecting the date for the federal election. There are 22 Saturdays between now and November 30, the last possible date an election could be held.
The requirements for a campaign period of no less than 33 days rules out four Saturdays. Further options can be eliminated because of sporting grand finals, public holidays, school holidays and religious days.
Rudd has also ruled out two other possibilities. He has said the election will not be held on September 14, the date designated by his predecessor Julia Gillard, because it falls on the date of the Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur.
** Australian federal election, 2013. A federal election to determine the members of the 44th Parliament of Australia took place on
7 September 2013.
