** PLEASE NOTE THESE LOCATIONS ARE FOR THE 2016 ELECTION ONLY AND ARE NOT CURRENT **
Early Voting Centres for the 2016 Federal Election open tomorrow (June 23, 2016) in Morwell, Traralgon and Bairnsdale.
Sale’s 2016 Early Voting Centre will also continue operating at the former Medicare office in the Sale Pedestrian Mall.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester has urged people to register their vote early if they will not be able to get to a polling place on Election Day – Saturday, July 2.
“The election is being held on the middle weekend of the school holidays, so anyone who is not able to vote on July 2 can visit an Early Voting Centre to cast their vote beforehand,” Mr Chester said.
Early Voting Centres, also known as pre-poll centres, are open from 8.30am to 5.30 each business day until the election; Wednesdays and Fridays they stay open until 6pm. Early Voting Centres are also open from 9am to 4pm this Saturday.
Our local 2016 Early Voting Centres are located at:
99 Buckley St, Morwell
88a Seymour St, Traralgon
301 Raymond St, Sale
205 Main St, Bairnsdale
Further details on the 2016 Early Voting Centres are available on the Australian Electoral Commission website: http://aec.gov.au/Voting/ways_to_vote/
People unable to vote on Election Day can also apply for a postal vote. Postal vote applications must be received by the electoral commission by close of business on Wednesday 29 June. For more information, visit http://www.aec.gov.au/election/pva/
