Mosman Council Elections 2024: Postal voting is now open. Here’s what you need to know.

By ANNA USHER

Postal vote applications are now open for residents unable to vote in person at the upcoming local council elections on Saturday 14 September.

Acting NSW Electoral Commissioner Dr Matthew Phillips has told Mosman Collective that eligible postal voters in North Sydney and Mosman LGAs should apply as early as possible for their postal voting pack (you’ll find the link at the bottom of this story).

“Applications opened on Tuesday, 6 August, and we’ll start sending out postal voting packs from Monday, 19 August after all candidates are confirmed and ballot papers can start to be printed,” he said.

“The most efficient way to apply for a postal voting pack is online through the NSW Electoral Commission website. Applying through third parties can result in significant delays.”

Dr Phillips said people who can’t vote in person on election day will have the option attending a pre-poll venue one week before the Mayoral contest.

In Mosman LGA, you’ll find one pre-polling site at the Allan Border Pavilion, open from Sat 07 Sep – Fri 13 Sep 2024 at the following times:

Mon – Wed: 8:30am – 5:30pm
Thu: 8:30am – 8:00pm
Fri: 8:30am – 6:00pm
Sat: 9:00am – 6:00pm

If you are voting in person on Election Day, September 14, you can head to one of the following locations from 8am.
