Historic Central Darling Shire election moves closer

The NSW Electoral Commission is encouraging all eligible voters in the Central Darling Shire Council area to enrol or check their enrolment details before close of roll 6pm Monday, 11 August 2025.

NSW Electoral Commissioner Rachel McCallum reminded voters that now is a great time to get ready to vote.  

“With the election approaching, now is the time for eligible voters to ensure their details are up to date so they are ready to have their say.

“Whether you need to enrol for the first time, update your details or just check where you are enrolled, it’s quick and easy to do online.” 

 “Go to aec.gov.au and you’ll get all the information you need.” 

Ms McCallum said it is compulsory to enrol to vote in NSW elections if you are eligible and aged 18 or over.

The election will be held in Central Darling Shire Council on Saturday, 20 September, its first since it was placed under administration in 2013.  

The election will be held under a new model proposed for rural and remote councils. Three councillors will be elected by the community and three councillors will be appointed by the Minister for Local Government. Voting is compulsory. 

Further information about enrolment and about the 2025 Central Darling Shire Council election is available on the Electoral Commission website.
