Voting in Council Elections
Voting
Votes must be received before 5:00 pm Wednesday 7 April 2027. It's recommended that you post your vote before Tuesday 30 March 2027.
Voting in Local Government Council elections is about voting for who decides about some key things that happen in your local community.
Voting in Council Elections is all conducted by Postal Ballot. A kit of information which contains ballot papers and how to vote instructions are distributed by post to all registered voters. If you are on the state (House of Assembly) electoral roll or have completed an enrolment to join the supplementary roll, you will receive a voting pack in the mail.
The ballot paper in your voting pack will show the candidates standing for election. A profile of each candidate will be posted to you with your postal voting papers. You can also contact the candidates and talk to them about what they want for the area and why they want to be elected.
To find out more about each of the candidates and what they stand for go to the candidate website:
