How is your vote counted in Local Government elections?

In WA, we use optional preferential voting for local government elections. This means you can vote for one candidate, some or all, and your preferences help decide the outcome.

Here's how it works:

👉All the number “1” votes are counted first.

👉If no one gets over 50%, the lowest candidate is out.

👉Their votes are redistributed to the next preference if one is marked. If a ballot has no further preferences, it becomes exhausted and no longer counts in the tally.

👉Repeat until someone has a majority and wins.

Optional preferential voting means your vote can still count even if your first choice doesn’t win.

Quick tip: Numbering more boxes gives your vote more power!
