On Saturday 14 September, Bayside Council will elect 15 Councillors to represent the community across the five wards.
 

It's compulsory to vote in all elections and this one is no different. Check that your enrolment details are correct. Enquiries should be directed to the NSW Electoral Commission on 1300 135 736.

​

Your vote counts towards electing at least one Peaceful Bayside councillor in each of the five wards who will represent Bayside Council for the council term of four years.

Here's a reminder of some of the issues that matter to us all and that Peaceful Bayside is campaigning on:

​

  • Safer streets

  • Better-managed green spaces

  • More inclusive, liveable and family-friendly neighbourhoods

  • Safer, cleaner and more accessible beaches and waterways 

  • Better walking and cycling routes, like the Kamay Greenway

  • More support for local arts, culture and events

Some boundaries have changed - not sure which ward you're in?

casting your vote

Most people vote in person – but there are other options as outlined below.

​

To vote for Peaceful Bayside, it's as easy and as simple as writing the number 1 in the Group box assigned to Peaceful Bayside that is located above the line. 

Ward 1: Write 1 in the Group "E" box above the line. More information
Ward 2: Write 1 in the Group "C" box above the line. More information
Ward 3: Write 1 in the Group "C" box above the line. More information

Ward 4: Write 1 in the Group "E" box above the line. More information

Ward 5: Write 1 in the Group "C" box above the line. More information

​

Above the line preferences: you can then choose to preference other candidates if you wish by writing 2, 3 etc. in other boxes above the line. This is not mandatory. To ensure a valid vote, you only need to write the number 1 in one (1) box above the line.

​

You cannot vote above and below the line. If you do, your vote could be deemed invalid.

 

If you choose to vote below the line instead of above the line, you must vote for a minimum of two (2) candidates below the line.
