Liverpool City Council
Liverpool has two wards, each electing five councillors, so your ward paper needs at least 3 numbers. You also get a second paper for the mayor, who is elected by the whole city. At the last ordinary election Liverpool engaged its own electoral services provider rather than the NSW Electoral Commission, so results and enquiries went to the council — check with them who is running the next one.
- 2 wards, 5 councillors each
- 10 councillors + 1 mayor = 11 offices
- Number at least 3 of 5

On the day: what you will be handed
2 ballot papers at this council, in this order.
Paper 1 of 2
Councillor
Number at least 3 squares, 1–3 — half the 5 councillors this ballot elects, rounded up. You may number more.
Proportional representation — a candidate is elected on reaching the quota.
Paper 2 of 2
Mayor
Put 1 next to your first choice. You may number as many others as you like — a single 1 is enough.
Optional preferential — the winner needs an absolute majority.
Ballot shape: Not settled until nominations close. A ballot only gets a line and group squares when more than one group asks for one, so it is settled at the close of nominations and not before. We will draw the real paper here as soon as the Commission publishes it.
Before election day
Check you are enrolled
Liverpool City Council runs its own election rather than the NSW Electoral Commission, so check your details with the council.
Know your minimum
Your councillor vote is formal once you have numbered 3 squares — half the 5 that ballot elects, rounded up.
Do not forget the mayoral paper
A separate paper, a separate election, counted differently — a single 1 is enough, and the mayor serves four years.
The council itself
Agendas, minutes and the current councillors.
