Dear Mr Smith

I refer to your email dated 16 February 2017 where you sought information
regarding the Australian Public Service Commission's Enterprise Agreement.
The information you sought was as follows:

"I request the document(s) which describe the data provided to the
external organisation(s) responsible for conducting the ballot(s) for all
Enterprise Agreements put to staff for a vote.
The scope of this request is limited only to those ballots undertaken for
enterprise agreements which were proposed to take effect after 30 June
2014.
The document shall describe the data given to the ballot agent. For
example, employee name, employee identification number, employee email
address, etc.  I exclude the data for specific employees here; I am only
after the 'meta-data'."

As suggested in your request, the Australian Public Service Commission
agrees to provide a response to you administratively, that is outside the
provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

The Australian Public Service Commission engaged a ballot agent to conduct
a vote in respect of the Enterprise Agreement. The voting opened on 2 July
2015. The data provided to the ballot agent included staff names, email
addresses and postal address (where required).

I trust this satisfies your request

Regards
