VOTERS heading to the polls in the Monaro by-election next month will have the option to cast their ballot via post, as the state continues to wrestle with its COVID-19 outbreak.
The by-election for the state seat of Monaro, and three other NSW districts, is being held on February 12.
As a COVID-19 safety measure, the NSW Electoral Commission has announced that voters will have the option to cast their ballot via post.
All voting centres will adhere to covid safe election guidelines, including mandatory mask-wearing, physical distancing, single-use pens, queue management and QR-code check ins.
The Monaro by-election is a result of the resignation of the former deputy premier John Barilaro.
