Revision as of 02:55, 7 April 2024

In addition to political parties registered at state and national level in, a number of political parties and groups compete solely in local government elections in Australia.

A number of these parties are registered with the New South Wales Electoral Commission.[1] Members of major parties, including the Australian Labor Party and Liberal Party of Australia, also contest local government elections.[2] The Australian Greens have endorsed councillors in all states and territories, except South Australia.[3]

Queensland

At local elections in Queensland, candidates and incumbent councillors can formally register groups (which operate similarly to parties) with the state electoral commission. These groups often contain members of other political parties, including the ALP and LNP.[15][16]

Tasmania

In Tasmania, the Liberal Party and Labor Party generally do not endorse local government candidates.[22] According to Tasmanian psephologist Kevin Bonham, tickets formed for local elections are "alliances of convenience that may have an ideological basis," not necessarily parties.[23]
