VOTERS enrolled in Mansfield Shire Council should check the mail for their ballot packs.

Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel is encouraging people to vote as early as possible.

"This election is postal, so it’s important to complete and return your ballot material as soon as possible to make sure your vote counts," Mr Bluemmel said.

Ballot material must be in the mail or delivered to the election office at Visitor Information Centre, 175 High Street, Mansfield by 6 pm Friday October 25.

Voters who haven’t received their ballot pack by Tuesday October 15 should go to vec.vic.gov.au to complete an online replacement ballot pack form.

Candidates who have nominated for the election are listed in the ballot packs and on the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) website at vec.vic.gov.au.

If candidates have provided them, there will also be candidate photos and statements in the packs, and answers to the candidate questionnaire online.

Voting is compulsory for all voters who were enrolled for this election at 4 pm Wednesday August 7.

Voters who don’t vote may be fined.
