Submit voting cards on time: What voters need to pay attention to!

In Austria, more and more voters are turning to casting their votes using voting cards. The state elections are already casting their shadows, because applying for and submitting your voting card on time is crucial. The state returning officer Bernhard Ozlsberger emphasizes that voting cards sent by post must arrive in the respective municipality by 2:00 p.m. on Friday, January 17th at the latest. To prevent problems, he recommends sending the voting card early or applying for it directly at the municipal office in order to be able to vote safely and quickly burgenland.ORF.at reported.

The numbers speak for themselves: 941,509 citizens are eligible to vote, including many who would like to use the voting card option. To ensure that the votes are counted, voting cards can be requested in person at the municipal office until January 17th, 12:00 p.m. Even on election day, the voting card can still be handed in at a polling station in your home district. It is also important to allow additional time for mailing if the absentee ballot is requested online, such as steiermark.ORF.at executed.

The choice matters a lot, and timing is everything! Voters should therefore familiarize themselves with the deadlines early on so that they can cast their vote on time.
