Monday 15 September 2025
For immediate release
Voters enrolled in Lake Hume Ward in Wodonga City Council should check the mail for their ballot packs for the upcoming by-election.
Election Manager Harold Cover is encouraging people to vote as early as possible.
‘This election is postal, so it’s important to complete and return your ballot material as soon as possible to make sure your vote counts,’ Mr Cover said.
Ballot material must be in the mail or delivered to the election office at Unit 1/1 Birallee Place, West Wodonga by 6 pm on Friday 3 October. Voters should check their local mail clearance times as this could be earlier than 6 pm, or earlier in the week.
Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by Tuesday 23 September should call 131 832 during business hours for a replacement.
Candidates who have nominated for the by-election are listed in the ballot packs and on the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) website at vec.vic.gov.au. If candidates have provided them, there will also be candidate photos and statements in the packs, and answers to the candidate questionnaire online.
Voting is compulsory for all voters who were on the roll for this election at 4 pm on Wednesday 23 July. Voters who don’t vote may be fined.
