The Western Australian Electoral Commission (WAEC) has already received over 113,000 postal vote packages for the 2025 Local Government Elections — a significant increase compared to this time during the 2023 Local Elections.
The WAEC encourages electors to complete their ballots and send it back as soon as possible so that it’s received by the 6pm 18 October deadline to be included in the count.
From Tuesday 30 September, daily figures of the number of postal votes received broken down by individual local governments, will be available on the WAEC website on the 2025 Local Government Elections page, to ensure the community has access to up-to-date information during the local government elections.
