On the following pages, we explain different ways people can vote.

When you vote in person, staff will need to find your name on the electoral roll.

You can bring your voter information card with you to make this easy.

This is a maroon coloured card.

We will mail your voter information card to you before the election.

We will send it to the address we have for you on the electoral roll.

We will also email you a voter information card if you shared your email address on the electoral roll.
