From Monday 9 September until noon on Tuesday 17 September, candidates can call 131 832 and they will be directed through to the relevant election office.
To prepare, prospective candidates can:
- attend a candidate information session
- complete mandatory candidate training through LGV

- complete their nomination forms using the VEC's Candidate Helper
