All councils in Victoria will be elected by postal voting closing on Friday 25 October this year.

Everyone on the voters roll on Friday 30 August will receive a ballot pack in early October.
The voting pack will include the ballot paper, a reply-paid envelope, the candidate information statement and multi-language leaflet for voters.
After vote counting, the new councillors will be elected on 1 November for a 4 year term.

New single councillor wards

This voting will elect one councillor in each of nine new awards.
Voting is preferential and it likely that most results will be decided by preferences.
Voters can expect to have at least three candidates in each ward, but possibly many more.
