The investigation concluded on 18 July, and Hoenig announced he intended to defer Liverpool's election and suspend the council because of "widespread and serious concerns about dysfunction".[11]
On 5 September, it was announced that the election would proceed and Hoenig backed down on his threat to suspend Liverpool City Council, awaiting the report of a further inquiry into the council's governance.[12]
Electoral system
Like at state elections, New South Wales local elections use optional preferential voting. Under this system, voters are only required to vote for one candidate or group, although they can choose to preference other candidates.[13] The majority of mayors are elected by councillors at council meetings, although 37 were directly-elected in 2024 (an increase from 35 in 2021).[14]
All elections for councillor positions are elected using proportional representation.[15] Some councils use a single ballot paper, while others have an Australian Senate-style ballot paper with above-the-line and below-the-line voting.[16] Councils can be either undivided or be divided into wards ranging from two-member to five-member.[17][18]
Voting is compulsory for anyone on the New South Wales state electoral roll.[19] Property owners, rate-paying occupiers or lessees can apply to be on the "non-residential roll" in an LGA, as long as they are not already enrolled as a resident in that area and if they are eligible to be enrolled for state and federal elections.[20] Voting is not compulsory for those on non-residential rolls, although it is still compulsory in the LGA where they are on the residential roll.[21]
In 2014, then-Liberal premier Mike Baird introduced a law for that gave businesses that own, lease, or occupy rateable land in the City of Sydney two votes each.[22] Voting for businesses in Sydney also became compulsory.[23] Many critics saw the decision as an attempt by the Liberals to unseat Clover Moore as lord mayor.[24] The business vote came into effect at the 2016 election and was again in force at the 2021 election.[25][26]
On 13 September 2023 Hoenig formally announced that the business vote would be removed, starting at the 2024 election.[28] Eligible people will still be able to apply to be on the non-residential roll, however only one person would now be entitled to be enrolled on behalf of non-residents − the same as all other LGAs.[28]
Party changes before elections
A number of councillors joined or left parties before the 2024 elections.
A total of 3,889 candidates contested the elections for both mayoral and councillor positions.[45] Of that, 1,635 candidates were contesting councillor and mayoral positions in Greater Sydney LGAs.[46] Candidate nominations closed at midday on 14 August 2024.[47]
The Greens had 376 councillor candidates and 22 mayoral candidates.[48] More than 50 candidates were from a Hellenic background.[49]
Liberal Party missed deadline
On the day that nominations closed, the Liberal Party revealed they had missed the deadline to nominate 164 candidates in 16 different LGAs.[50][51] The error was described by Liberal leader Mark Speakman as "probably the worst act of mismanagement" in the party's history.[52][53]
One day later, on 15 August 2024, the Liberal Party state executive resolved to terminate the employment of its state director, Richard Shields.[54] Shields said party president Don Harwin volunteered to run the nomination process so he could maintain his focus on the next federal election.[55]
Harwin requested that the NSWEC reopened nominations for another seven days, but his request was denied.[56] The party then briefly considered taking legal action against the NSWEC, but ultimately decided against doing so.[57]
Campaign
The Libertarian Party campaigned on ending "woke agendas", smart cities, and cutting council rates, and the party was given a higher chance of winning in areas where the Liberal Party had failed to nominate candidates.[58][59] This was the party's largest-ever local elections campaign.[60][61]
More than 50 campaign signs for the Matt Gould Team were vandalised in Wollondilly.[66]
Housing
Housing was seen as a significant issue in the elections, especially in Greater Sydney.[67] Senior officials in the state government were reportedly "bracing for unpredictable election results" that would threaten the housing policies of the Labor government.[68]
A survey conducted by The Sydney Morning Herald found that "protecting local heritage" was the main priority for many candidates in Greater Sydney.[46]
Israel–Hamas war
The Israel–Hamas war was the subject of campaigning in the local elections. A group called "Better Council" targeted Greens candidates in the LGAs of Inner West, Randwick, Waverley and Woollahra over the party's "[focus] on radicalism".[69] The group's spokesperson is Sophie Calland, a member of the Labor Party.[70]
Another group, called "We Vote For Palestine", asked candidates to sign their pledge, which included supporting a ceasefire and divesting from Israel.[71][72]
A number of Labor and Liberal campaign signs in Inner West Council were vandalised with "Boycott Israel" and "This Candidate Votes For Genocide" stickers.[73]
"Do you favour a reduction in the number of Central Coast Councillors from 15 to 9 and a reduction in the number of wards from 5 to 3, with each ward electing 3 councillors?"
"Currently Greater Hume Council is divided into three wards that elect 9 councillors in total. - Do you favour abolishing this ward system in favour of a single area consisting of all voters that elects 9 councillors?"
"Currently Greater Hume Council is divided into three wards that elect 9 councillors in total. - Do you favour making no change to this system; that is three wards and 9 councillors remain?"
"The Mayor of the Kiama Municipality is currently elected every two (2) years by the nine (9) elected Councillors. Do you want to change to the direct (popular) election of the Mayor by the voters of the Kiama Municipality, for a four (4) year term?"
"Do you favour the election of the Mayor by electors for a four (4) year term with the number of Wards reduced from three (3) to two (2), each Ward comprising of four (4) Councillors, plus a popularly elected Mayor?"
"Woollahra Municipal Council currently has 15 Councillors. Do you favour reducing the total number of Councillors from 15 to 9? Please note that a reduction in the number of Councillors will result in a reduction of Wards across the Woollahra Municipal Council Local Government Area, likely to be a reduction of 5 Wards to 3."
The Liberal Party was significantly impacted by its failure to nominate many candidates, but the party won a majority in Ryde (including winning Ryde's first directly-elected mayoral election).[84] The party also returned to having representation in Parramatta, after not endorsing candidates there in 2021.[81]
The Libertarian Party benefited in areas where the Liberals were unable to recontest, especially MidCoast Council, where they became the largest party.[86][87]
This was a record result for the party, which has previously won two seats at the 2012 local elections (under their former "Liberal Democrats" name).[88] The party had the fourth-largest amount of candidates statewide, only behind Labor, the Liberals and the Greens.[89]
