In a bid to reconnect with the community, NSW Labor will trial a US-style primary to determine its candidate for Lord Mayor of Sydney.

The party says all residents in the City of Sydney as well as ALP members will have a say in who represents Labor at the forthcoming council election.

NSW Labor General Secretary Sam Dastyari says the initiative is part of a long-term plan to reconnect the party with the community.

“We know Labor has to change and to do so, we need to engage more directly with the community,” Mr Dastyari said.

“By allowing residents in the City of Sydney area to vote in who we select to run for Lord Mayor, we open ourselves up to a rigorous and merit-based process.

“Having a serious contest of ideas can only be a good thing for the Labor Party.”

City of Sydney residents will be able to vote online for their preferred candidate from Monday at communitypreselection.com.au.

Residents can also vote at locations around the city or through a postal ballot.
