Voting safely at the 2021 NSW Local Government elections

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Minister for Local Government postponed the 2020 ordinary elections for 12 months. Planning is underway for the delivery of the elections on Saturday 4 September 2021.

Learning from the experiences of other electoral commissions in recent elections around Australia and in New Zealand, a review of every election task from a COVID-safe perspective is being undertaken. Public health orders and circumstances are changing as the pandemic evolves and changes will continue to be made to election plans as necessary.
