The 1971 New South Wales local elections were held on 18 September 1971 to elect the councils of the local government areas (LGAs) of New South Wales, Australia.




Electoral system


Like at state elections, New South Wales local elections use optional preferential voting. The majority of mayors are elected by councillors at council meetings, although some are directly-elected.
Unlike at state and federal elections, voting was not compulsory. This was the last time 18-year-olds were unable to vote at New South Wales local elections, with the Whitlam federal government lowering the voting age from 21 in 1973. Voting was not compulsory.
