Don't let them stop you from voting! Enrol NOW!

The Howard Government passed legislation that will close the rolls for new voters at 8.00pm on the night the Federal election is called. Previously, voters had a week to register to vote. Last election, the Electoral Commission received a total of 423,975 enrolment cards in that week; 78,816 of those were new enrolments. Many 18-year-olds will miss out on the chance to register under this new legislation. You can check your enrolment with the AEC online.
