Local government elections will be held this October, where a new group of Councillors will be elected to represent the City of Whittlesea.

Local Government elections are an opportunity for you to help shape the City of Whittlesea by voting for a Council representative for your local ward or nominating to become a Councillor yourself.

The election will be conducted entirely by post, with voting ballot packs mailed out in early October by the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC). Voting is compulsory for all enrolled voters.

The VEC conducts elections on behalf of all Victorian councils.

Nominating as a candidate

If you are passionate about making a difference in your local community, you can nominate as a candidate for the upcoming election.

Nominations open on Monday 9 September, and close at noon on Tuesday 17 September.
