Tasmania's Local Council elections will be held in September - October
2018 (except Glenorchy).
Nominations for [Green] Party preselection are now open
and will close on SUNDAY
6 MAY 2018.
The online nomination form can be found here. https://tgelection2018.wufoo.eu/forms/z1xk2e2z167ixh2/
The Tasmanian Greens currently have nine party endorsed members in six
local governments and we are aiming to increase this number at this
election.
The State Election Campaign Committee has prioritised fourteen local
councils based on votes received at recent elections and party-endorsed
incumbents. However, all members and supporters are encouraged to
consider the importance of having Greens members in public office and
nominations will be welcomed for all local council elections.
We are aiming to increase the number of local councils where Greens
members are councillors. We are also aiming to increase the number of
Greens councillors where there are incumbent Greens councillors.
.
If you are a member who is passionate about your local community and
want to see the Party's policies progressively implemented in your local
council, discuss this with other party members and seek their honest
feedback. You will need two members to nominate you and two to be
referees.
A member may wish to nominate for the mayoral or deputy mayoral ballots
in their local council. State Executive has decided the Party will
preselect not more than one member for a mayoral or deputy mayoral
ballot. The preselection for mayor will occur first. If a member
nominates for both, but is not preselected for the mayoral ballot, they
will be included in the preselection ballot for deputy mayor.
Please ensure that you are eligible to nominate, including checking the
Local Government Act 1993 Sections 254 - 262
