Residents of Division 2 will head to the polling booths tomorrow morning to cast their votes on who will become their next local Councillor.
Early voting has taken place all week with the voting station open from 9am to 5pm, and special extended hours until 6pm this evening, at Shop 15 Whitsunday Shopping Centre.
Tomorrow’s Election Day voting will take place at the same location from 8am to 6pm.
A clear winner could be announced as early as Saturday evening but, as a preferential voting system will be used again, it could be decided upon by who the community vote as second or even third favourite.
If this is the case, there might be a longer wait until a winner is announced and if the decision is reliant upon postal votes, this could take up to two weeks.
The Mayoral election held early August, was a close race and the successful candidate was not officially announced for almost two weeks.
It is compulsory to vote if you are registered and live in the Division 2 electorate.
Failure to vote will incur a fine of $143.75.
To enrol to vote, check your enrolment or update your details, go to the Australian Electoral Commission’s website.
