In light of this Sunday’s election, former Hon. General Secretary of the Greek Orthodox Community of Melbourne & Victoria (GOCMV), Costas Markos, has shared a timely historical reference on Facebook, revisiting how the organisation managed its electoral process during the 1940s — often considered its “Golden Era.”
Featured is the original Electoral Committee’s press release from 1st October 1944, detailing key procedures such as postal voting (available to members living more than 20 miles from Melbourne) and the election venue at AHEPA House, Alfred Place. At the time, elections followed a clear and constitutional timeline — a sharp contrast to the delays seen in recent years.
