Nominations for the Victorian council elections are now open, with prospective candidates having until Tuesday to lodge their nomination.
Candidates will also need to submit their candidate statements, photos and questionnaires.
Electoral commissioner Sven Bluemmel said people who would like to represent their community were encouraged to nominate as a candidate in the elections.
“If you are thinking about standing for election, make sure to confirm your eligibility and complete the mandatory online candidate training through Local Government Victoria before lodging your nomination. This includes candidates who are currently or have previously been a councillor,” he said.
