"The State Government will reform the processes around local government elections in an effort to boost voter turnout at the next elections in October-November 2010. State/Local Government Relations Minister Gail Gago said the State Government had accepted 23 of the 27 recommendations made in the Independent Review of Local Government Elections earlier this year. “Many of the recommendations are aimed squarely at improving the participation of voters at local government elections – thereby strengthening democracy,” Ms Gago said."
