Mayor & councillors
Mildura has 9 wards, each with one councillor, elected in October 2024 for the 2024–2028 term. All 9 seats are filled. Voters don't elect the Mayor directly: the councillors choose one of themselves each year, at the council's Annual Meeting.

Victorian council ballot papers and results don't show party affiliation, so we don't label councillors. We list who holds office, with their council email addresses and official profiles, and link to the election results. Wards come from the VEC's current-councillor list and the council's November 2024 announcement; the council's councillors page doesn't show wards. In a single-councillor ward, a vacancy with more than 6 months of the term left is filled by a by-election, not a countback. For the latest list, see the council's page or the VEC.
