Why have I received a letter from the AEC?
The AEC is currently conducting a major mailout in order to keep the electoral roll up to date.
This mailout is part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that all eligible electors are correctly enrolled for the address they're living at.
There are two reasons why you would have received a letter:
- You may have received a letter because our records indicate that you are not enrolled for the address you’re living at. - OR
- You may have received a letter that is routinely sent to targeted households asking you to check that everyone at that address is correctly enrolled.
What do I need to do?
It’s very important that you respond to the letter you’ve received, because if you’re not correctly enrolled you run the risk of being removed from the electoral roll. It’s also important to be enrolled for your current address so you're ready to vote for federal, state or local government elections.
The letter you have received will outline exactly what you need to do.
Enrolment forms are enclosed with the letter for anyone else in your household who may need to enrol or update their enrolment details. Filling out an enrolment form will enrol you for federal and state and local government elections.
