Results from the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) Mitchell Shire Council 2024-28 election have been released.
Announced last Friday, the election saw seven new councillors voted in, and two re-elected from the previous council term.
Timothy Hanson, Nathan Clark, and Bob Humm will represent the Central Ward, while Ned Jeffery, John Dougall, and Andrea Pace will represent the North Ward. Riley Evans, Bob Cornish, and Claudia James will represent the South Ward.
A total of 37,598 voters were enrolled across the shire for the election. However, only 29,037 formal (correct) votes were cast, with 1216 votes declared incorrect and not counted towards the results. Almost one fifth (7345) of enrolled voters did not cast a vote.
The new term’s first council meeting will be held next Monday, November 18.
