- Knox Votes
Knox residents and ratepayers will vote in our four-yearly council elections on 26 October.
Knox has nine wards with one councillor to be elected in each ward to represent our community.
Voting is by post and all enrolled voters will receive a ballot pack from the Victorian Electoral Commission, which manages the elections. Voting is compulsory for those on the council or state roll.
Those on the state roll will automatically be enrolled to vote in the council elections. If you need to check or update your state enrolment details, visit vec.vic.gov.au/enrolment.

This election, the rules have changed for some other categories of voters.
People who own property in Knox but live elsewhere need to apply online to Council if they want to vote.
Ratepayers who are not Australian citizens, those who pay rates on a property they occupy but don’t own, and a director or secretary of a corporation that pays rates can also apply to vote.
It is not compulsory for these categories of voters to apply to be on the roll but if you do apply it is compulsory to vote.
Don't wait until the last minute — enrol now and make sure your voice is heard in the upcoming election.
For more details and enrolment forms, visit knox.vic.gov.au/elections.
Stand for Council
If you are a community leader or feel ready to take on an influential leadership role, you might want to be a candidate in this year’s council elections.
Free seminars for prospective candidates are being hosted by the Municipal Association of Victoria (MAV) and the Victorian Local Governance Association (VLGA) in July and August.
Council needs strong and diverse leadership to represent our community, and this is an opportunity to be the change that you want to see.
Nominations to be a candidate open on 9 September and close at noon on 17 September.
The complete list of candidates will be available on the VEC website from 18 September.
