“Take your EasyVote card with you when you go to vote, as it will make voting faster and easier. But don’t worry if you forget your card, or didn’t receive one, as long as you are enrolled to vote, you can still have your say tomorrow,” says Mr Peden, Chief Electoral Officer.
“This year it’s more important than ever to have your say. Not only will we be voting for the politicians who will represent us in parliament, we’ll also be voting for the system we use to elect them in the future,” says Robert Peden.
