Voters should check the mail for their council election ballot packs.
Electoral commissioner Sven Bluemmel encouraged 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 Bluemmel said.
Candidates who have nominated for the 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.
Sunbury voters are split into two electorates – Emu Creek Ward and Jacksons Hill Ward – and will elect one candidate per ward.
The Macedon Ranges has been divided into three electorates, each with three vacancies.
Ballot material must be in the mail or delivered to the election office at Suite 2, Level 1, 25 – 29 Devonshire Road, Sunshine, by 6 pm Friday, October 25.
Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by Tuesday, October 15 should go to vec.vic.gov.au to complete an online replacement ballot pack form.
