Only 17 of the then 29 councils held elections in 1994.[1] Following a significant local government overhaul in 1993 that saw the number of councils decreased from 46 to 29, the 12 amalgamated councils held elections in 1993 and so skipped the 1994 election. This was also the first time universal postal ballots were used for Tasmanian local government elections, though only as a trial.[2]

301 candidates ran for 178 councillor and mayor position and all contests were held except for the Sorell Council District of Dodges Ferry.[2]
