No reply envelope? You can still vote

VOTERS who didn’t get reply envelopes with their council election ballot packs can still cast their vote by mail, according to the Victorian Electoral Commission.

Torquay Ward candidate Amber Potter raised the issue in a post on the Surfcoast Community Notice Board Facebook page on Monday this week.

Surf Coast Shire election manager Noel McPhee said a “small proportion” of ballot packs at every council election arrived without reply envelopes, but voters in the Surf Coast Shire could send their completed ballot paper in an envelope to the Torquay election office. No stamp is needed.
