Singleton Council is composed of nine councillors elected proportionally to a single ward, as well as a directly-elected mayor.
At the 2021 election, seven independents were elected, as well as one Labor member and one Shooters, Fishers and Farmers Party (SFFP) member.[1] However, the election was re-run in 2022 after the New South Wales Electoral Commission's online voting system crashed, preventing 55 people in Singleton from casting their vote.[2]
All councillors elected in 2021 were re-elected in 2022 with the exception of independent Belinda Charlton, who was defeated by Labor's Sarah Johnstone.
Councillor Malinda McLachlan left the SFFP in December 2022 after comments made by party leader Robert Borsak. As a result, SFFP is not recontesting Singleton in 2024, while McLachlan is running as an independent.[3]
The Greens and the Libertarian Party are contesting for the first time.[4]
