The Dubbo Regional Council election will be held on Saturday, December 4. Nominations ensure the candidate will have their name included on the ballot paper.

This is the first time nominations can be made entirely online for Local Government elections via the Commission's Nominations Online Management System.

NSW Electoral Commissioner John Schmidt is encouraging anyone who is planning to nominate to get started on their application straight away.
