1987 New South Wales local elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1987 New South Wales local elections were held on 26 September 1987 to elect the councils of the local government areas (LGAs) of New South Wales, Australia.[3][4][5][6]
No election was held in September for Warringah Shire Council, which instead held an election on 14 March 1987 after the council was dismissed in 1985.[7] A total of 61 candidates contested the 12 councillor positions in Warringah, including endorsed National Party candidates (who did not win a single seat) and at least one Independent Labor candidate.[8] Seven councillors from the previous council were returned to office, including shire president Ted Jackson.[9]
This was the first election where Town and Shire Clerks acted as returning officers under the direction of the New South Wales Electoral Commissioner.[10]
