Council elections

Every 4 years, Knox residents and ratepayers vote to elect Councillors to represent our community.

The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is responsible for managing local Council elections.

About Council elections

The last Council elections were held in October 2024. The election results are available on the VEC website.

The next Council elections will be held in 2028.

For more information about Federal and State elections, visit the Victorian Electoral Commission or Australian Electoral Commission websites.

Permits for election signs and materials on Council land

You must apply for a permit to display an election sign or distribute election material on Council land.

When applying for signage, candidates will need to attach a copy of their Public Liability Insurance Certificate, to a value of $20 million.

Applications are only considered after an election has been announced.

Election Period Policy

Council’s Election Period Policy ensures that the Knox City Council general elections are conducted in a manner that is fair, ethical and equitable.

The Policy is included within our Governance Rules, under section 69 of the Local Government Act 2020.
