The NSW Electoral Commission is reminding anyone who has yet to return their postal vote for the 2024 NSW Local Government elections to put it in the post today.
To be counted, ballot papers and postal vote certificates must have been completed by 6 PM Saturday, 14 September (election day).
Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner Dr Matthew Philips said postal votes must be returned to the Electoral Commission by 6 pm, Friday, 27 September, in order to be included in the count.
“We encourage anyone holding on to their postal vote pack to send it back to us as soon as possible to ensure it reaches us before the deadline.”
“438,864 postal votes were issued for the 2024 NSW local council elections, and so far, 355,905 have been returned. If you voted by 6 pm on election day, make sure your vote counts by returning it,” he said.
