Prospective candidates should start lodging their nominations for the upcoming 2024 NSW Local Government elections now, according to the NSW Electoral Commission.
Nomination is the process by which candidates have their name included on ballot papers. Nominations can be lodged from this week with the NSW Electoral Commission and must be lodged by 12 noon on Wednesday, August 14.
Successfully nominated candidates will be published progressively on the NSW Electoral Commission website from Thursday, August 8. A final list of candidates, in ballot paper order will not be available until after the ballot paper draws on Thursday, August 15.
Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner Dr Matthew Phillips said late nominations and amendments are not permitted under legislation.
“This means no changes to nominations or new lodgements can be accepted after 12 noon on Wednesday, August 14.”
“Candidates should lodge their nomination early so there’s time for our team to check whether their paperwork is in order. By lodging well before the deadline, there’s time for candidates to correct any errors identified and still meet the nomination requirements.”
