Vote
All voting in council elections is compulsory. You can vote by post or drop it off in the ballot box at your council office.
Voters who will be interstate or overseas, or those with a print disability, can use a Telephone Assisted Voting (TAV) service.
Enrolled voters will receive a voting package in the mail. Once completed, you need to return the completed ballot paper in the reply-paid envelope.
The TEC will mail voting packs at least two weeks before voting.
In addition to ballot papers, each pack includes information about the candidates standing for election and includes a guide on how to complete and return the ballot papers.
Some councils offer ‘meet the candidate’ events. Please contact your local council to determine whether they’re holding events in your community.
Votes must be received by the Returning Officer no later than the day and time noted on the ballot materials.
