Youth Council Elections

It’s now time for Greater Geelong’s young people aged 12–17 to have their say and vote for their preferred candidates.

You might spot us set up with a voting booth at your school, or you can drop into one of our youth hubs to cast your vote.

Voting is open until 21 November, and then we’ll count all the votes and announce the 11 successful members of the 2026 Youth Council.
