7089 - NEWCASTLE CITY COUNCIL ELECTIONS PENALTY NOTICES

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Finance, Services and Property

  1. How many registered voters who failed to vote in the 2017 Newcastle City Council elections received 'Failure to Vote' penalty notices?

  2. How many voters appealed the fines due to not knowing the elections were on in their local government area?

    1. How many of these voters were successful with their appeals?

    2. How many of these voters were unsuccessful with their appeals?
Answer -

(1) and (2) Revenue NSW only holds data on the number of fines which were referred for enforcement (i.e. not paid by due date) and does not hold the total numbers of failure to vote penalty notices issued or the total numbers of voters who appealed their fines.

This question should be directed to the Premier, as Minister responsible for the New South Wales Electoral Commission.
