“Voting is one of the most important ways we participate in our democracy, and I thank the people of Secret Harbour for taking part in this by-election,” Mr O’Reilly said.
“With 16 candidates on the ballot paper, it may take a little longer than usual to complete, so I encourage people to take their time and number every box from 1 to 16 in their order of preference to ensure their vote can be counted.
