Local Council Election Day

In October 2023, Local Government elections will be held throughout Western Australia, including the Shire of Broome.

This year's election, to be held on Saturday, October 21, will be the first where Broome residents will have to directly elect a Shire President, instead of the role being decided by the Council.

Voting in a local government election is not compulsory in Western Australia. However, all local electors are strongly encouraged to vote. 

The Shire of Broome election is in-person, which means votes are cast at a polling booth. Electors may apply for a postal vote, absentee vote or an early vote if they are not able to go to a local polling booth on election day.
