Launceston City Council will this week finalise a submission to the State Government with feedback after last year’s local government elections.
A key proposal for discussion is limiting the tenure of mayors to two terms as a means of more effective succession planning.
The draft submission also calls for more work to raise community awareness of candidates so that higher profile candidates don’t have an unfair advantage; and for a mix of on the day and postal voting as occurs at state government elections.
The council will consider the content of its submission at its meeting on Thursday.
