Local Government Participation and Elections Review – Office of Local Government Online information sessions
About the review
On Wednesday 25 October, the Minister for Local Government launched the Local Government Participation and Elections Review.
This statewide consultation gives all South Australians the chance to give feedback on how communities can better engage with their councils during a council term and, particularly, at election time.
This review and consultation will focus on these key topics:
- ways to better engage and participate with councils
- ways to encourage a greater number of more diverse candidates for election to councils
- ways to increase voter turnout
- ways to ensure that council elections are run efficiently, with the highest level of integrity.
The aim of this consultation is to inform reform proposals and the development of the bill to amend local government legislation.
