The rules for council enrolment have changed, with some property owners who do not live in the council area but may be eligible to vote because they pay rates
To check which council you should vote in, contact your local council for further information.
The 2024 Victorian local council elections will be the state’s largest single election program, with a predicted 4.7 million voters participating in 465 individual elections across 78 councils.
