City of Greater Bendigo - Postal Elections

In a postal election, voting is conducted entirely by post.

Voters are mailed ballot packs containing their ballot papers and information about the candidates. These are posted to the address at which voters are enrolled. Voters cast their votes by returning the ballot papers in the mail.

If voters have changed address after the entitlement date or are not able to take receipt of their mail when ballot packs are mailed out, they can apply to have their ballot pack redirected to another address. Applications for redirection must be received by the close of nominations. After the close of nominations, voters can request an early postal vote.
