由于投票回数被取消,维多利亚州2024年将变更为单一成员的选区将补选费用从1000美元提高到183537美元. Victoria’s 2024 shift to single-member wards raised by-election costs from $1,000 to $183,537 due to eliminated vote countbacks.

维多利亚州于2024年改为地方议会的单一成员选区,这大大增加了更换议员的费用,因为由于取消计票,补选费用从旧制度下的1 000美元增加到13万至183 537美元,而现在的补选费用从旧制度下的1 000美元增加到183 537美元。 Victoria’s switch to single-member wards for local councils in 2024 has drastically increased costs for replacing councillors, with byelections now costing $130,000 to $183,537—up from $1,000 under the old system—due to the elimination of vote countbacks. 这一变化采用优先投票方式,要求补选全部空缺,导致付息者费用增加,选民投票率降低。 The change, which uses preferential voting, requires full by-elections for vacancies, leading to higher expenses for ratepayers and lower voter turnout. 议员们以工作量和财政紧张为由辞职,而批评者则认为,在没有与社区协商的情况下作出的转变恶化了治理,不公平地加重了地方民众的负担,促使人们呼吁进行立法审查。 Councillors have resigned citing workload and financial strain, while critics argue the shift, made without community consultation, has worsened governance and unfairly burdened locals, prompting calls for a legislative review.
