Eligible residents and ratepayers are being urged to enrol to vote for the upcoming Victorian local council elections before it’s too late.
Enrolment closes at 4 pm Wednesday 7 August.
Australian citizens who have recently turned 18 or changed address can enrol or update their state enrolment details at https://vec.vic.gov.au/enrolment
There are also additional enrolment categories for ratepayers, including non-Australian citizens who are not already on the State roll for that council.
People in these categories should contact their local council for more information.
The Australian Electoral Commission is also calling on residents to join its temporary workforce for the next federal election.
More than 100,000 temporary staff are needed across the country for what is the nation’s largest peacetime logistical event.
