The Victorian State election is on Saturday, 29 November, and every Australian citizen over 18 years of age and on the rolls is required to vote.
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.”
Enrolment forms are available at any post office or Centrelink office, or can be completed online at vec.vic.gov.au in various languages. These forms will print in English and must be then signed and returned to the VEC.
The VEC is also encouraging eligible candidates to nominate to stand for election to either the Upper or Lower House. Independent candidates have between Tuesday, 4 November, and noon on Friday, 14 November, to submit their nomination in the District or Region for which they are nominating.
For more information about enrolling, voting or standing for elections, voters can visit the VEC’s website at vec.vic.gov.au or call 131 832.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.
When you support The Indian Sun, you support:
• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers
We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.
If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Thank you for your support.
