The 1941 Sydney City Council election was held on 6 December 1941 to elect councillors to the City of Sydney. The election was held as part of the statewide local government elections in New South Wales, Australia.[1]
The election saw the Civic Reform Association, which had controlled the council since 1930, re-elected. Suffrage was extended to all adult residents, however turnout was lower than the previous election in 1937.[1] [2]
The Sun observed that there was a "mysterious appearance of "illegal" how-to-vote cards in Macquarie Ward" on the day of the election, which saw Civic Reform preference Official Labor over the State Labor Party.[1]
Prior to the election, Fitzroy Ward alderman Arthur McElhone rejoined Civic Reform to contest as an endorsed candidate.[3]
Phillip Ward was uncontested.[1]
