The Mayor of Ryde is the elected head of the City of Ryde, a local government area in the north shore region of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. The council was first incorporated on 11 November 1870.[2] Since 2017, the mayor is elected for a two-year term, by the councillors. The mayor is assisted in their work by a Deputy Mayor, who is elected on an annual basis by the elected councillors.

Election method

From 1870 to 1959, the mayor was elected annually by the elected aldermen. From 1959 to 1968, the Municipality of Ryde had a system of triennial mayoral elections, with the mayor chosen by the electors of the municipality alongside the elected aldermen. From 1968 to 2017, the mayor was again elected annually by the aldermen (retitled councillors after 1 July 1993, with the enactment of the Local Government Act, 1993). From 2017, in line with all other local government areas in the state, the mayoral term was extended to two years.

A referendum was undertaken at the election held on 4 December 2021, asking residents the following question: "Do you support a popularly elected Mayor where the voters of the City of Ryde elect the Mayor for a four (4) year term, thereby adopting a thirteen (13) Councillor model (including the Mayor)?". The final declared results were: 76.18% YES and 23.82% NO.[3] As a result, the position of mayor will again be directly elected from the next local government elections scheduled for 2024.
