Civex Vote is Civex's election education arm, helping you make sense of the upcoming WA Local Government Elections.

You only need to register when you become eligible, change houses or names.

Voting registration for this year's council elections closed on August 27. However, you can still enrol or update your details for next year's federal election.

For most WA councils, you will receive your ballots by mail. You will also be required to send your ballots back by mail.

Who you vote for and how you vote will change depending on which council you live in.
