Local Government Elections
Local Government Elections
On 25th June 2026, the South Australian Parliament passed legislation to defer the 2026 local government elections to April 2027.
As a result of the Bill:
- voting for the next local government elections will close at 5pm on Wednesday 7 April 2027
- the following local government elections will be held in November 2031. Elections will then return to a four-year cycle from November 2031 onwards, meaning they will be held on an alternate year from State Government elections going forward.
