Vote local and make a difference

As the saying goes, council is the level of government closest to the people. You can see the impact council makes in your community every day – rubbish is collected, books are borrowed from the library and parks and playgrounds are enjoyed by people in your neighbourhood. This November is your chance to make a difference, by voting in the 2022 Local Government Election. Held every four years, local government elections give you a chance to shape the direction of your community by voting for the people you want to represent your views and make decisions. This year’s election comes as Playford navigates an exciting period of growth, with decisions that are made today having an impact on the city for decades beyond. Voting information will be sent directly to all enrolled voters from Friday 14 October, 2022. Open the envelope and vote Unlike State and Federal elections, voting in council elections is exclusively by post. Enrolled voters receive a voting package through the mail and cast their votes through the reply paid envelope. Voting packs will be sent out from Friday 14 October. People are urged to cast their vote as soon as their pack is received, to avoid missing out on making a difference.

Post back your vote before 5pm, Thursday 10 November 2022. Authorised by Sam Green, CEO, 12 Bishopstone Road, Davoren Park, SA 5113
