Hello,
Not sure if I am posting this in the correct forum?
I recently found out that I had three separate warrants for failing to vote (when I phoned about a separate matter). These were:
A Melbourne city council election
A Victorian by-election (for Melbourne city)
A state election
For the city council and by-election, I did not reside in the Melbourne district when the elections occurred. I wrote to the magistrates court requesting these are revoked due to this, however they have refused the application on the basis there are not sufficient grounds to revoke..
When I put in the applications, I provided evidence that I did not live in the Melbourne district at those times. I also explained that I had setup a mail redirection with Australia post and had ticked the box to say to provide my new address to government agencies. I have never received any correspondence relating to these matters until I contacted the infringement office about an unrelated parking fine.
* Do I have grounds to object (i.e. take this to a hearing)?
Thanks
