Tablelands Regional Council’s Division 1 by-election will be held on 31 October 2026, with four candidates on the ballot. A 14 October report in The Express lists them, in ballot order, as Bernie Wilce, Mark Norvall, Kate Eden and Greg English.

The report says the election will be conducted entirely by post, with no in-person polling places. Ballot packs are being sent to people enrolled in Division 1. Voters need to follow the instructions in their pack, including signing the declaration envelope and arranging a witness signature.

According to the report, completed ballots must be posted by 6pm on polling day and received by the Electoral Commission by 5pm on Tuesday 10 November. These arrangements apply specifically to the Division 1 contest. Residents should check their ballot pack and the Electoral Commission’s instructions before returning their vote.
