The Dubbo Regional Council (DRC) Local Government Elections will be held on 14 September 2024.
Residents registered to vote in the DRC Local Government Area will elect 11 councillors from across the region following the referendum during the 2021 Local Government Elections.
At that time, residents also elected to abolish the ward system that was in place at the last election allowing them to vote for any candidate.
To ensure their vote is eligible, residents will be provided with a Councillor ballot paper. The directions for voting on the ballot paper will show the minimum number of candidates you must vote for, with above-the-line and below-the-line options available.
Residents must make sure they follow the instructions provided to ensure their vote is counted.
Voting is compulsory and enables residents to choose who represents them at a local government level.
Residents must now be enrolled to vote and can check their enrolment on the NSW Electoral Commission Website.
Pre-poll voting opens on Saturday 7 September and will be available at the Dubbo Uniting Church in Church Street Dubbo, or the Wellington Civic Centre in Swift Street Wellington.
Pre-polling will also be available at the Apex Oval Function Room on Cobra Street from 9 September.
Further polling places will be available on election day and can be found by visiting our YourSay page.
