There’s been a flurry of announcements recently about candidates standing for Council, so most readers would probably have guessed there is an election coming up!<\/p>\n

The quadrennial (every four years) Local Government Elections for all Councils in Queensland (including Aboriginal Shire Councils) will be held on Saturday, March 19.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Voting is compulsory.<\/p>\n

All eligible electors are required to be enrolled on the electoral roll and vote during at the election.<\/p>\n

Electors enrolled for Federal and State elections are automatically enrolled to vote in their local government area.<\/p>\n

You can check to see if you are enrolled correctly online<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Electors have until 6:00pm on Friday, March 18, to either enrol to vote or update their enrolment details.<\/p>\n

Although some Queensland councils will be conducting postal ballots in March, all our local councils – Cherbourg, Gympie, South Burnett and Toowoomba – will require attendance at polling booths.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
