The 2023 Western Australian local elections were held on 21 October 2023 to elect the councils of 124 of the 137 local government areas (LGAs) in Western Australia. Many councils also held mayoral and deputy mayoral elections.[1]
Electoral reform saw optional preferential voting introduced, and council representation changed to align with the population of the district.[2][3]
Local elections in WA are held periodically, meaning around half of all councillors were not up for election until 2025.[2]
