List of local government political parties in Australia

Last updated

In addition to political parties registered at the state and national level, a number of political parties and groups compete solely in local government elections in Australia.

Contents

Some of these parties are officially registered with electoral commissions in their respective states. [1]

Non-local parties refers to parties in each state or territory that endorse candidates for local elections, but do not exclusively operate at a local level. This differs in each jurisdiction, with the Australian Labor Party and the Liberal Party of Australia only contesting in certain states. [2]

The Australian Greens have endorsed councillors in all states and territories, except South Australia. [3]
