The Countdown to Lane Cove Council Elections is On

    The Lane Cove Council elections will be held on 4th December 2021.  However, the NSW Electoral Commissioner is encouraging everyone to vote early.

    Pre Polling

    Pre polling has started, and you can vote this week at the Lane Cove Council Chambers.  Everyone can vote early – you do not need a reason.

    Which Ward Am I in?

    Lane Cove has three wards that elect three representatives.  Find out which ward you are in here.

    Where to Vote on 4th December 2021

    One of the most popular polling stations in Lane Cove is usually the Lane Cove Public School.  However, Lane Cove Public School will not be a polling station at this election due to the hall fire.  You can vote in Lane Cove at these venues.

    Note: Scott Bennison did not respond to the invitation until close to the event and advised he had a prior engagement.  If he had contacted ITC prior to the day of the event, we would have been more than happy to reschedule to a date all candidates could be involved.

    Preferences

    People have told ITC that they are confused about preferences.  Voices of North Sydney (an independent organisation) has produced an excellent video that explains how preferences work in the Local Government Elections.  You do not have to nominate a preference.
