Victoria proposes requiring local council candidates to disclose party ties for greater transparency.
The Victorian Electoral Commission has recommended requiring local council candidates to disclose political party membership, even without formal endorsement, to boost transparency amid public demand.
The proposal is not mandatory, allowing candidates to opt out.
The VEC also suggests increasing councillor limits in fast-growing areas like Casey and Whittlesea to ensure fair representation.
These changes follow the 2024 elections—the most complex in Victoria’s history—with 466 contests due to ward restructuring, a fully postal voting system, a record-low informal vote, and two quickly resolved fraud cases.
The government has not yet responded.
