Early voting for the May 21 Federal election began on 9 May, with several pre-polling booths open throughout Casey and the surrounding area.
For in the Yarra Ranges, St Patrick’s Parish Community Centre in Lilydale, Chirnside Park Community Hub and the Darron Honey Centre are the closest voting centres open for early voting.
People affected by Covid-19 isolation rules can vote by telephone, thanks to legislation passed in early 2022. Up until the Wednesday before Election Day, Covid-affected Australians can apply for a postal vote. Telephone voting for people with Covid-19 is an emergency measure for the final three days of voting.
Telephone voting registration will be available on weekdays between 8.30am and 5.30pm from Monday 9 May until 20 May.
