It’s a crowded field for the upcoming Lord Mayor of Perth elections.

If you live in the city or even have an office/co-working desk that leases or rents space in Perth city for the last three months or more, then you too could have a vote and help decide who becomes next Lord Mayor.

Registrations for voters will close on August 28th.

If your startup or business has a business address in the city or anywhere located on this map, you could have 2 votes. If you live in the city or own property in the city you have 1 vote.

#Brodiehelpedme

Some of you may have seen that some local startup founders have been posting videos on social media with the hash tag #brodiehelpedme.

This is their way of saying thank you to a person that has helped so many businesses and opportunities succeed.
