I am under the impression you can't do absentee votes if you are out of town for council elections. I think it is too late to do a postal vote.
Does AEC look after the local council elections or would it be BCC?

Anyone know how to vote without being here?

Cant see the point in voting 'coz Tunnel Spruiker (Cando) hasnt got any real opposition. He's gonna s*** it in

But Greg Rowell Played cricket for the bulls thats gotta count for something!

Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They're
nothing but hideous space reptiles.
Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about
it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system.
Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.

Does anyone know of somewhere that lists the locations of the polling places for this election? I've been looking around, but all I can find are the polling places from the Federal election.

Thanks for the qec site that was really helpful.

For electors who cannot attend a polling booth as set out above, the only available options are to lodge a postal vote or to vote at one of the ECQ’s pre-poll centres. There is NO ABSENTEE VOTING at local government elections other than BCC elections. For the BCC election, absent voting will be available within Brisbane only and NO PRE-ARRANGED INTERSTATE OR OVERSEAS VOTING.

Laaaaaaaaame. I'll be on the Gold Coast this Sat. Lucky this thread was posted or I wouldn't have noticed that.

I got a letter yesterday that listed all the polling locations.

But a letter is not convenient enough. It requires the opening of an envelope.

sarcasm meter broken, is it the wrong site or something?
it lists Saturday the 15th as D-Day

Gay as AIDS...I voted for some council by-election when Beattie quit or something like that only a few months ago (it seems).

How about we have a referendum on whether we should have to vote or not....and make it not compulsory....although that may fail.

What time does voting open? I'm leaving Vegas early Sat morning to go hiking, and will probably end up camping. This is truly a pain in the ass.

excuse my laziness...I found out throught the Google...8am. f***.

There's another election?

i hope that letter was to your liking, had nice fonts and was easy to read and without typos!

Pre-voted at city hall this arv. Now I am freeeee. Good work team.

Dan, Need more info re: early voting

Can I do it today ? Really wanna go down to Byron yesterday early, and don't wanna have constraints

cando is all over this

yay, the tunnels are back on

i don't really agree with the tunnels but i do agree with not being a cocktard and blocking all the s*** he went to the election with.

at least its not a stalemate now, i guess.

I dont really agree with f***ING TRAFFIC CONGESTION THAT IS GETTING WORSE BY THE DAY.

Unfortunately, roads are not the solution to traffic. (If anything more roads = more traffic)

Traffic will increase to fill the roads.
Think of it as supply and demand. "Cost" being time to travel. Increase supply, cost drops demand increases.

Now if you add another "cost" into the trip instead of simply time, you might maintain demand.


Hence, the solutions would be unpopular.

shutting down coro drive and diverting all traffic via milton road through cribb street is f***ed, I work on little cribb street and we're pretty much preparing for 12-24 months of anal rape
