The 2014 Tasmanian local elections were held in October 2014 to elect the councils of the 29 local government areas (LGAs) in Tasmania, Australia. Councils also held mayoral and deputy mayoral elections. [1]
Beginning at these elections, terms for elected councillors doubled from two years to four years. Additionally, mayoral candidates no longer needed to have council experience. [2]
Councillor elections are conducted using a slightly modified version of the Hare-Clark electoral system, which is also used for Tasmanian House of Assembly elections. [1] Mayors and deputy mayors are elected using preferential voting, which is used for Tasmanian Legislative Council elections. [1]
The Robson Rotation is used to rotate the order in which candidate names appear on ballot papers. All voting in Tasmanian local elections is conducted by post. [1]
A number of councillors joined or left parties before the 2014 elections.
