Electoral structure and the 2025 by-election in Lake Hume Ward
In February 2024, the state government implemented the final advice from the electoral structure review. This saw Wodonga adopt a single-councillor ward electoral structure.
In June 2025, Cr Hannah Seymour resigned as the representative for the Lake Hume Ward, triggering a by-election. The timeline for this by-election can be viewed here. Only those enrolled within the Lake Hume Ward are required to vote.
