On 3 October 2022, Australia was re-elected to the 48-member International Telecommunication Union (ITU) Council. Voting took place at the 2022 Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-22) in Romania, where 180 countries cast votes. Australia is honoured and proud to have been re-elected and we will continue our hard work to bridge the digital divide, improve governance and shape the ITU to respond to the challenges ahead.
