Very last chance to vote

THE time has now passed for popping your council ballot papers into the post, but there is still a chance to have your say by dropping your papers into the ballot box at the Derwent Valley Council Chambers in Circle St, New Norfolk by 10am today (Tuesday).

At the time of writing, just over 52% of eligible voters have returned their voting slips by post. This puts the Derwent Valley in 17th place out of the 29 councils and just ahead of the state average of 49.85% participation in the election.

Counting of the votes will start later today and early results should be available mid-evening. Results will be available online at www.tec.tas.gov.au
