Voters enrolled in Hindmarsh Shire Council should check the mail for their ballot packs.
Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel is encouraging people to vote as early as possible.
‘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,’ Mr Bluemmel said.
Ballot material must be in the mail or delivered to the election office at Jeparit Memorial Hall, 12 Lower Roy Street, Jeparit, by 6 pm Friday, 25 October.
The Hindmarsh Shire Council’s West Ward will not require an election this year as there were only two nominations for the two positions available, but both the East and North Wards have three candidates for the two positions in each, so they will require a ballot.
Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by Tuesday, 15 October, should go to the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) website to complete an online replacement ballot pack form.
Voting is compulsory for all voters who were enrolled for this election at 4 pm Wednesday, 7 August. Voters who don’t vote may be fined.
The following are the candidates for each of the Wards in the Hindmarsh Shire Council in the order they will appear on the ballot paper.
East Ward- Chan Uoy
- Debra Nelson
- James Barry
North Ward- Roger Aitken
- Elizabeth Chivell
- Tony Clark
West Ward
