2017 is an election year for local governments throughout Western Australia. Election day is 21 October, although most of these ordinary elections will be conducted as postal ballots.
While October may seem a long time away, key election decisions need to be made by local governments by August and electoral rolls close on 1 September.
The Commission is currently considering the appointment of returning officers and has begun to meet with known local government clients to discuss their requirements and election arrangements.
All eligible Western Australians are encouraged to take part in their respective local government elections. To do so they must ensure their enrolment details are up to date. Individuals can check their enrolment details here.
