Intro
LG Alert
Local government elections will be held in Western Australia on 21 October 2023, as planned.
A date change is not required to accommodate the Voice to Parliament referendum and all timelines for WA’s local government elections remain unchanged. Candidate nominations will open tomorrow and close at 4pm, Thursday 7 September. The Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) encourages all Western Australians to vote so they can have a say in issues affecting their local community.
