This year’s council elections on 4 December will be quite different, with changes in response to the pandemic. General information > HERE. 

The Electoral Commission will impose COVID-safe measures in polling places that will slow the voting process.

Sydney Town Hall will not be a polling place for this election and if voting in person, you will have to vote in your council area.

You can register for online voting through iVote from 22 November > HERE. Or you can request a postal vote, though this is more complicated > HERE.
