The Victorian State election will be held on Saturday, 27 November. In preparation, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is encouraging eligible Victorians to check their enrolment details are up-to-date by the close of rolls at 8pm on Tuesday, 9 November.
Victorian Electoral Commissioner, Steve Tully said: “It is important that all Victorians have their say in the State election. I urge anyone who is not on the roll to fill out a form as soon as possible. People who have changed address recently should also check that they are correctly enrolled.”
The VEC interpreter service is available for people who would like help in their own language. Please call [insert relevant number] for assistance.
Information and enrolment forms are available in 19 languages on the VEC website – 131VEC.com.au. The forms will print out in English and need to be signed and returned to the VEC.
