Local Government Elections 2008

Local Government elections are held every fourth year. The latest Local Government elections were held on 13 September 2008.

The NSW Electoral Commission (NSWEC) is responsible for the conduct of all Local Government elections to ensure that the elections are conducted independently and impartially. An independent returning officer is appointed by the NSWEC to each Council area to conduct the election on behalf of and under the direction of the Electoral Commissioner. The Electoral Commissioner appoints the polling places for Council elections and the returning officer appoints the election officials.
