Results by LGA

The 2021 New South Wales mayoral elections were held on 4 December 2021 to elect mayors or lord mayors to 35 of the 128 local government areas (LGAs) in New South Wales. The elections were held as part of the statewide local elections.[1][2]

While most mayors in New South Wales are elected by councillors at meetings, several choose to have directly-elected (or popularly elected) mayors.[3]

Background

[edit]

2017 referendums

[edit]

At the 2017 local elections, three referendum questions were put to voters about directly-elected mayors.

When asked if they supported the introduction of a directly-elected mayor in 2024 71.9% voted "Yes" in Dungog and 70.1% voted "Yes" in Shellharbour.[4][5] However, voters in North Sydney voted in favour of removing directly-elected mayoral elections. All changes came into effect in 2021.[6]
