Ballot packs on the way

Voters enrolled in Cardinia Council are encouraged to check their mail boxes for their ballot packs.

Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel said people should vote as early as possible to ensure their vote is counted.

“This election is postal, so it’s important to complete and return your ballot material as soon as possible to make sure your vote counts,” he said.

Ballot material must be in the mail or delivered to the election office at Comely Banks, 125 Bridge Road, Officer by 6pm on Friday 25 October.

Voters who have not received their ballot pack by Tuesday 15 October should go to vec.vic.gov.au to complete an online replacement ballot pack form.

Candidates who have nominated for the election are listed in the ballot packs and on the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) website.

If candidates have provided them, there will also be candidate photos and statements in the packs, and answers to the candidate questionnaire online.

Voting is compulsory for all voters who were enrolled for this election at 4pm on Wednesday 7 August, with voters who do not vote at risk of receiving a fine.
