The 2022 Tasmanian local elections were held in October 2022 to elect the councils of the 29 local government areas (LGAs) in Tasmania, Australia. Mayoral and deputy mayoral elections were also held.[1]
For the first time in Tasmanian local elections, voting was compulsory. Polls opened on 3 October and closed at 2pm on Tuesday, 25 October.[2]
Electoral system
[edit]Councillor elections are conducted using a slightly modified version of the Hare-Clark electoral system, which is also used for Tasmanian House of Assembly elections.[3] Mayors and deputy mayors are elected using preferential voting, which is used for Tasmanian Legislative Council elections.[3]
The Robson Rotation is used to rotate the order in which candidate names appear on ballot papers. All voting in Tasmanian local elections is conducted by post.[1][3]
Elections timeline
[edit]- 5 September – Candidate nominations open
- 19 September – Candidate nominations close
- 3 October – Voting opens
- 25 October – Voting closes
- 26 October – Counting begins

Campaign

Aftermath
[edit]Former Nationals senator Steve Martin was elected as a councillor in Devonport, giving the party an elected representative for the first time since he lost re-election at the 2019 federal election.[8]
Mary Duniam, the mother of Liberal senator Jonathon Duniam, became the first female mayor of Waratah-Wynyard.[8]
Launceston mayor Danny Gibson resigned in May 2023, just months after being elected, following "vile attacks, stemming from media reports".[9]
By-elections and countbacks
[edit]The Tasmanian Electoral Commission has held a number of by-elections and countbacks to fill vacancies on councils since the 2022 elections.[10][11]
