This year, the City of Subiaco local government election will be held on Saturday 18 October 2025.
Local government elections are a great way to get involved in your community, contribute to democracy and have a say on who will represent you in making decisions about local issues.
Councillors have a wide range of responsibilities including representing electors and residents in making decisions about community assets, infrastructure and services, allocation of resources and setting Council's policies.
If you’re considering putting yourself forward for election, you must nominate between Thursday 28 August and Thursday 4 September 2025. This year there are five vacancies.
To find out more about the election process and the expectations of Elected Members, potential candidates can participate in an online information session hosted by the Western Australian Electoral Commission at 6pm on Monday 14 August. The session aims to prepare successful candidates for life as an Elected Member. Register here.
There’s also still time to enrol to vote, but hurry! Enrolments close at 5pm on Friday 22 August. Visit www.elections.wa.gov.au/oes to find out if you’re listed on the State Electoral Roll.
Postal votes will be distributed approximately four weeks out from election day.
More information on Council candidates is available on the City's website. You can also read the WAEC Call for Nominations notice here.
