*These candidates were retired prior to ballot papers being printed and will not appear on ballot papers. As the remaining retirements occurred after ballot papers had been printed, they cannot be changed to remove the retired candidates. When counting votes for these elections, the candidates’ votes will be passed on to other candidates according to voters' preferences.

The VEC is working with Local Government Victoria to resolve additional potential retirements related to non-completion of the candidate training. Retirements will be published as digital public notices at publicnotices.vic.gov.au

Under the Local Government Act 2020 and Local Government (Electoral) Regulations 2020, a candidate must have completed the mandatory training at the time they lodge their nomination.
