2024 Victorian local elections

[31] No election was held for Moira Shire after the council was dismissed in March 2023 and a panel of administrators was appointed.

[38] In April 2024, both Greens councillors in Monash − Anjalee de Silva and Josh Fergeus − left the party.

[42][43] At the 2020 election, the Melbourne City Council electoral roll was composed of 55.1% business and out-of-the-area property owners, with local residents making up the remaining 44.9%.

[69] This requirement was introduced at the 2020 elections as a result of the Local Government Act 2020, and candidates who do not complete the training are ineligible to nominate.

[73][74] This means that while they will remain on the ballot, they are not eligible to serve as a councillor and their votes will be distributed to other candidates according to voters' preferences.

[89][90] As was the case at the New South Wales local elections in September, a group called "We Vote For Palestine" asked candidates to sign their pledge, which included supporting a ceasefire and divesting from Israel.

[91][92] The total statewide vote increased for the Greens, who won 28 councillors (a decrease of eight from 2020, but the same amount they held before the elections).

[95] In Yarra, which elected a majority Greens council in 2020, the party went from five councillors to two, although the council-wide vote percentage remained almost unchanged.

[102] In South West Ward, candidate Cat Rose came close to winning the seat after finishing in third place, just 0.42% behind the Greens (who went on to defeat Labor after preference distribution).

The Victorian Electoral Commission has held a number of by-elections and countbacks to fill vacancies on councils since the 2024 elections.

Leaflets containing information about each candidate were mailed to the appropriate wards for all voters. Pictured here is the front page of the leaflet for the Junction Ward in Boroondara .
