LOCAL GOVERNMENT · TABLELANDS REGIONAL COUNCIL DIVISION 1
Division 1 postal by-election reaches final week before polling day
Published · Cenlocal summary
Tablelands Division 1 voters face a 31 October polling deadline, with postal returns accepted until 10 November.
Tablelands Regional Council's Division 1 by-election reaches polling day on Saturday 31 October 2026, with the contest conducted entirely by post. The council timetable says postal ballots must be completed and returned before 6pm on polling day and lists Tuesday 10 November as the final day for return of postal votes. Division 1 electors should follow their ballot-pack instructions and seek electoral advice if unsure.
The vacancy arose after Kevin Cardew was elected Mayor on 2 September. Ballot packs were to be mailed after candidate nominations closed on 8 October. The electoral roll closed on 5 October, so those stages are no longer upcoming deadlines. The council directs election questions to the Electoral Commission of Queensland. The poll concerns Division 1, not every council division.
