Cast your vote
VOTERS across the region have just days remaining to return their ballots.
The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is reminding voters in the south west they have until 6pm on Friday, October 25 to vote in the Moyne and Corangamite Shire Council elections.
In Corangamite Shire, only voters in the Tandarook Ward will be required to vote as all other Wards have seen the incumbent councillors running uncontested.
Electoral commissioner Sven Bluemmel reminded residents across the region their votes need to be returned prior to the close of voting or fines may apply.
“You need to post your completed ballot pack before 6pm on Friday, October 25, noting local clearance times may vary,” he said.
“You can also drop your ballot pack off at the election office located at 89 Dunlop Street, Mortlake in Moyne Shire or at McCabe Room - Killara Complex, 210 - 212 Manifold Street, Camperdown in Corangamite, before 6pm on Friday, October 25.”
Extended hours for voters to hand deliver their completed ballot pack apply from 9am to 8pm on Thursday, October 24 and 9am to 6pm on Friday, October 25.
Voting is compulsory for voters who were on the state or council roll for this election at 4pm on Wednesday, August 7.
Any voter who still hasn’t received their ballot pack should go to vec.vic.gov.au to complete an online replacement ballot pack form.
Enrolled voters who do not vote may be fined.
