The Victorian Electoral Commision has advised the councillor vacancy at Macedon Ranges council will now go to countback.
Councillor Christine Walker suddenly died on Friday, August 1, prompting a vacancy in the South Ward of the shire.
The extraordinary vacancy will be filled through a countback of the formal ballot papers cast at the last general election in October 2024.
Votes will be redistributed to candidates who were unsuccessful at that general election, and who remain eligible to participate in the countback to fill the vacancy.
The countback will take place at 10am on Monday, September 1.
The VEC will be hosting the countback online via webinar from 9.30am on the day.
The result will be published online at vec.vic.gov.au following the countback.
