GOCMV elections proceed smoothly

Officials speaking, up to 2,200 people had voted at the Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne, Victoria’s (GOCMV) General Election at Alphington Grammar School.
The election’s smooth process and friendly atmosphere were noticed by Dimitri Christophilos, a GOCMV member for 20 years, who was “hoping for change” and expressed his frustration to NKEE with the “in-fighting and squabbling” that has characterised the GOCMV over the last year.
There was strong turnout by younger people and families to the General Election, as well as Greek seniors who were there in strong numbers. The integenerational mix of voters was also reflected among the various candidates from both camps.
It is doubtful that the election results will be released prior to Wednesday. As a company commissioned by the Victorian Electoral Commission counts and re-count the ballots.
