Local Government Elections
Local government elections play an important role in Western Australia's democratic system. Ordinary local government elections are held on the third Saturday in October every two years. The last local government elections were held in October 2021. The next ordinary local government election will be held in October 2023.
About the Election
The President and Councillors are elected for four year terms, with half of the Councillor’s terms concluding at each biennial election. Local Government Elections play an important role in our democratic system and provide an excellent way to get involved in your community.
The President and Deputy President roles come up for re-election every two years. Once the Councillors have been voted in after the election, Council will nominate and vote on the President and Deputy President roles in house.
