A date has been set for Mandurah's upcoming Extraordinary Election which will see the appointment of a new Town Ward councillor.
The position was left vacant after Peter Rogers announced his resignation back in May, two years before his term was due to end.
Mr Rogers cited the Council's "leadership and a lack of strategic direction" as a reason for his decision to step down.
An Extraordinary Election will be held on September 24 to fill the vacancy in the Town Ward, which includes parts of Central Mandurah, Halls Head and Erskine.
Eligible Town Ward residents who wish to vote must be enrolled to vote and ensure their enrolment details are up to date by 5pm on July, 29.
For Mandurah residents wishing to become an Elected Member, candidate nominations will open on August 4 and close at 4pm on August, 11.
City of Mandurah Mayor Amber Kearns said the election was an important chance for Town Ward residents to directly impact everyday life in Mandurah.
"Putting your hand up to represent your community is no small thing. It takes commitment, passion and a real drive to make a difference," Mayor Kearns said.
"Mandurah is growing and evolving and we need people to step forward, get involved and share their ideas in order to be our best.
“This is a unique opportunity to represent local voices and make a meaningful contribution to our community.
"Whether you're thinking of standing as a candidate or casting your vote, I encourage everyone to take part in the election and have a say in where we’re heading."
The Extraordinary Election will be conducted by the Western Australian Electoral Commission via postal voting.
