“It’s time for the community to vote for who they feel will best represent them,” council chief executive Ben Gower said.
“Individuals who are on the state electoral roll or had completed an enrolment for the council’s supplementary roll should have received their ballot packs last week.
“Electors should refer to their postal voting guide, included in their ballot pack, on how to complete and return their ballot papers.
“Once they have completed their ballot papers, they should be mailed as soon as possible to ensure they reach the returning officer by close of voting.”
Votes must be received by the returning officer by close of voting at 5pm on Friday, November 9.
Anyone concerned they may not get their voting material in the post in time to make the close of polls is encouraged to place it in the ballot boxes provided at each of the council offices at Millicent, Penola or Beachport, which will be open until 5pm on Friday, November 9.
If you did not receive your voting pack or are missing items, call the Electoral Commission SA Voting Hotline on 1300 655 232 for replacement material to be sent to you.
