Ways to vote

Local government elections in Tasmania are conducted by postal ballot and voting is compulsory.

Sample ballot pack envelope

Where's my ballot pack?

Ballot packs were scheduled to be delivered to electors by Australia Post between Tuesday 28 and Friday 31 January.

If you haven't received your ballot pack, follow this procedure  








Going interstate or overseas?

If you will be away and unable to receive your ballot pack during the polling period, you can request a supplementary ballot pack be sent to an alternative address in Tasmania, interstate or overseas.

 Applications for a supplementary pack to be sent by post closed 4 pm Friday 7 February. You can still visit your council to collect a new pack before the close of poll at 2 pm on Thursday 13 February.


Replacement ballot packs

If you haven't received your ballot pack by mail delivery on Friday 31 January, or if you require a replacement ballot pack, it's too late for us to post one, but there is still an option available:

  • Visit your council office at 1713 Main Rd, Nubeena (open 8:30am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday, closed weekends and Monday 10 February public holiday) to collect a new pack. This is the quickest option. There is a ballot box available on site for lodgement. Ballot packs must be in the ballot box before 2 pm Thursday 13 February. Please keep this in mind when planning your visit.
