Kelly, 102 Mt Barker Rd, Hahndorf SA 5245The elections in Adelaide Hills and Mount Barker Councils in South Australia, occurring outside the regular election cycle, are supplementary elections held to fill councillor vacancies. These vacancies were triggered by resignations earlier in 2025, necessitating elections to ensure full representation on the councils. Specifically:Adelaide Hills Council is holding supplementary elections for its Ranges Ward and Valleys Ward to replace councillors Melanie Selwood, Pauline Gill, and Louise Pascale, who resigned. Six candidates are standing for each ward.Mount Barker District Council is conducting a supplementary election for its South Ward to fill the vacancy left by Narelle Hardingham’s resignation. Three candidates are in the running for this seat.Supplementary elections, as defined by the Local Government (Elections) Act 1999, are conducted when a councillor position becomes vacant due to reasons such as resignation, death, or other circumstances, and there is more than 12 months remaining before the next periodic council election (scheduled for November 2026). These elections ensure councils remain fully functional and representative. Voting for these elections is by postal ballot, with ballot papers delivered between August 26 and September 1, 2025, and must be returned by 12:00 pm on September 22, 2025.Disclaimer: All content is presented for educational and/or entertainment purposes only.
