There is no interstate or overseas voting at local government elections. Electors who cannot attend a polling place on election day may apply to vote before as either a postal voter or a pre-poll voter.

Postal votes may be posted to the returning officer or handed in at a polling place on election day.

Pre-poll votes are made by attending the returning officer’s office or other specified locations in the two weeks prior to election day.

Voting at declared institutions

Some places such as convalescent homes, hospitals and similar institutions are appointed as declared institutions for voting before election day. People in declared institutions who wish to vote will be visited by an electoral official in the week before election day.

Patients in certain hospitals will be able to vote on election day either by visiting the polling place set up in the hospital or when the electoral officials are visiting the wards during special times.
