A council may take a poll of electors for its information and guidance on any matter.
A constitutional referendum is a poll initiated by a council and can only contain questions relating to the creation or abolition of wards, the way the mayor is elected, or changing the number of councillors
The question at a council poll or constitutional referendum is carried if it is supported by a majority of the formal votes cast.
Question No. 1 (Status: Result Declared)
Currently, Walcha council is divided into 4 Wards. 2 Councillors are elected from each Ward by the electors enrolled in that Ward. Candidates must be enrolled in the council area but not necessarily in the Ward they are nominating as a candidate. Elections are only held if more than 2 nominations are received in each Ward. Do you favour Walcha Council abolishing Wards so that all electors vote for all Eight (8) Councillors?
