Postal votes rolling in

NEARLY 900 votes have already been returned in this month's Derwent Valley Council election. Across Tasmania, 11.33% of voters have returned their postal ballots. Locally, 899 or 13.06% had been returned by 10am this morning.

Electoral Commissioner Julian Type encouraged voters to return their ballot papers as soon as possible. “The poll closes at 10am on Tuesday week, October 25, and late votes won’t be counted,” he said.

Any elector who had not received their postal ballot pack by today should call the Tasmanian Electoral Commission on 1800 801 701 to have a replacement pack sent out.

REMINDER: Derwent Valley Council election candidates will appear at a community forum at the New Norfolk District Football Club at 2pm on Saturday, October 15. All welcome.
