South Burnett residents living in the Flynn and Wide Bay electorates will need to travel a long way if they want to cast an early vote in the July 2 Federal election.
For local residents living in Flynn, the nearest pre-polling station is at Gayndah’s court house, which will accept early votes from Monday, June 27.
And for residents living in Wide Bay, the nearest pre-polling station is Gympie’s Senior Citizens Centre which will accept votes from Monday, June 20.
Residents who live in Maranoa have slightly more choice.
