Council returning officers based in Tuggerah

Returning officers for the Central Coast Local Government election have located their office at 2/1 Reliance Dve, Tuggerah.

Returning officers are officials appointed by the NSW Electoral Commissioner to conduct an election for one or more council areas.

Their offices are the sites for several election activities for the council area, including lodgement of candidate nominations, conducting the ballot paper draw, issuing pre-poll votes, counting votes, and declaring results.

Fifteen Councillors will be elected at the compulsory local council election on Saturday, September 9.

Central Coast residents who believe they may be unable to vote on the day may apply to postal vote or pre-poll vote.

Pre-poll voting opens Monday, August 28 and closes Friday, September 8.

Postal voters must submit their application to postal vote to the NSW Electoral Commission by 5pm on Monday, September 4 and have their Postal Vote Pack received by the Returning Officer by 6pm on Monday, September 11.

Registered general postal voters do not need to complete a postal vote application as they will automatically receive a postal vote pack in the mail.

Woy Woy Oval in Oval Ave is the one pre-polling venue on the Peninsula.
