Ready to vote Aussie?

July 17th 2010 07:10
Julia Gillard called the election.

Polling day will be August 21 -- and that leaves until just 8pm Monday for new enrolments and until Wednesday to update details like your address!

1 in 10 eligible voters, and an incredible 50% of 18 year olds, aren't enrolled to vote and even more are yet to update their details. While you may already be enrolled to vote, you probably know several people who are not.

Do you know anyone who turned 18 in the last year? Have any of your friends moved house, got married and changed their name, become an Australian citizen or moved overseas?


If you know anyone who fits into the above category -- and let's face it, you probably do -- then our democracy is relying on you today.

Visit www.aec.gov.au now and make sure your details are up to date

Then, make sure all your friends, family and colleagues do the same -- before 8pm Monday night.

If the people you're thinking of right now are not enrolled by 8pm Monday night, then they won't be able to vote in this year's historic election. Not only could they be fined over $100 for not being on the electoral roll, they'll miss out on a once in a 3 year chance to have their say about the issues that matter to them.

It may take 2 minutes of your time today to forward this email to everyone you know - but it will have an impact every day for the next 3 years.

Thanks,

David

PS -- While we've got 34 more days to influence the issues on which this election is fought, we've got just 2 days to get ourselves and friends on the roll. Please forward this email on to your friends, family, and colleagues and make sure they are enrolled to vote today.
