Australian citizenswho have recently turned 18, or who need to update their enrolment details, have until 8 pm on Tuesday, 11 November, to complete an enrolment form and return it to the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC).
Victorian Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately AM, said: ‘It is important that all Victorians take part in November’s State election. I urge anyone who is not on the electoral roll to complete a form soon, as enrolling and voting is compulsory for all eligible citizens.”
