All members of this house voted and got fined, they ignore my letter saying we already voted the fines are now at 207.10. Admit when you are wrong council and stop ripping off hard working people surely all these people cannot be lying! Here's a tip next time don't do a postal vote. PROBLEM SOLVED!

I didnt postal vote as i thought the voting i attended at chirnside park primary school was the same thing and the postal was an option if you couldnt make it to that? So that went straight in the bin. Upon recieving a reason for not voting form i replied with this reason and still recieved a $78 fine! My partner on the other hand recieved no postal vote or reason for not voting forms. It was not advertised well. I did not know it was happening or seperate to the elections held at locations and i blame this for the mishap. I have always voted when required. This was a misunderstanding

Paid my fine because I didn't want it to go up. But so unfair as there was no warning of election and no options on how to vote, and reliance on our struggling Australia Post.. who can't even deliver post properly.

I did the right thing and voted. Besides the fine I'm concerned that my vote wasn't counted!
This should be investigated.

I never received any notification that I was required to vote in the Council election. I only found out on 8 October 2016 that I could call a 1300 number, but when I did so, which my phone records will verify, there was a recording stating to "try again as the system was handling high call volumes."
I was going through Customs to board no cruise ship to Singapore at the time, departing Sydney that day and there was nothing more I could do.
Why is the council not being held responsible to prove that each ratepayer received a ballot form? I never received one and I challenge the council to prove otherwise. It's the council's call system couldn't handle the volume of people calling, and that it was overloaded, that's not my problem.
