The 2017 New South Wales mayoral elections were held on 9 September 2017 to elect mayors or lord mayors to 13 of the 46 local government areas (LGAs) up for election in New South Wales.[1]
While most mayors in New South Wales are elected by the councillors at meetings, several chose to have directly elected (or popularly elected) mayors. These elections took place alongside the 2017 New South Wales local elections.[2]
This was the first time that the City of Orange and The Hills Shire had a popularly elected mayor, instead of one chosen by councillors.
