Following the resignation of Cr Peter Lyndon-James, an Extraordinary Election will be held on April 11 for one Councillor vacancy in the City of Swan Altone Ward.
City of Swan CEO Mike Foley said it was an opportunity for eligible residents and ratepayers to have their say by voting for their preferred candidate.
"By voting in your local government election, you are having a voice on who may best represent your community’s issues and interests.
"It is also important to check that you are enrolled to vote so you can ensure you can be part of this democratic process.”
Ratepayers and residents have until 5pm, February 20 to register their enrolments with the Western Australian Electoral Commission.
The Extraordinary Election will be conducted by post and administered by the WA Electoral Commissioner.
Eligible electors will automatically receive their ballot papers in the mail in March. For more information, visit the Australian Electoral Commission's website.
