Has anyone received a Postal Voting form/info package lately?

For some reason, the Reply Paid envelope is to Anthony Albanese MP, who is the leader of the Electorate of Grayndler which my area is NOT even apart of.



Has there been some mistake or does everyone get the same package?



I'm not sending the form back - just curious.Has anyone received a Postal Voting form/info package lately?
MP's sending postal vote forms out unsolicited is just a sneaky , devious way of trying to get an advantage by conning people who are ignorant of the process into voting before they really understand about the other candidates or even party's policies...



It's all dressed up as if they are doing the community a service but it's nothing short of a rort ! Chuck it in the bin , do your own homework %26amp; vote for the candidate you feel will best be able to work for your community..
You can get a postal voting form from the electoral office - which is where you have to send it. Many MPs send out an application form to people in their constituency or one MP might send out forms to everyone. This is just a convenience. If you need a postal vote, you fill out the form and send it back and the MP's staff will lodge it with the Electoral office who will then send you the postal voting form. I needed a postal vote in the last State and Federal elections and the Liberal Party fixed me up for one of them while the ALP did it for the other. It saved me the bother of doing it all myself. It is just a convenience and if you need a postal vote, use it or don't it's up to you.



The people who organise the postal vote for you have no influence on how you vote and they never see the ballot papers that are sent to you. That is between you and the electoral office.Has anyone received a Postal Voting form/info package lately?
I got one from my local Liberal member - it was quickly torn up and binned. They do this every year, especially the Coalition members, to make you think they're doing something to help voters. But you still need to complete it and return to the AEC yourself.
My daughter received one the other day.. she's a first time voter..



Incidently, Aussie It came from the sitting Liberal Member in the seat... Sneaky buggar's those Liberals ( just joking ... I basically Bin ALL political B/S that comes into the house, labor, liberal or the Turkey Shoot Party...)Has anyone received a Postal Voting form/info package lately?
Politicians are sending all sorts of cr@p in the mail at the moment. Just bin it and move on with your life.
