The elections will be conducted by the Electoral Commission of South Australia.[1]

As per usual, no election is scheduled in Roxby Council as it is served by an administrator who performs all the functions of a council.[2] The election in Coober Pedy is expected to be held for the first time since 2018, after the council was suspended in January 2019 and did not vote in 2022.[3]
