An election for North Sydney Council was held on 14 September 2024 to elect twelve councillors.[2] The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in New South Wales.[3]
The Real Independents doubled its seats to four, while the Liberal Party and the Labor Party won two seats each.[4][5]
Like in all other New South Wales local government areas (LGAs), North Sydney Council elections use optional preferential voting.[6] Under this system, voters are only required to vote for one candidate or group, although they can choose to preference other candidates.[7]
All elections for councillor positions are elected using proportional representation.[8] North Sydney has an Australian Senate-style ballot paper with above-the-line and below-the-line voting.[9] The council is divided into two wards, each electing five councillors.[2]
The election was conducted by the New South Wales Electoral Commission (NSWEC).[10][11]
