A record number of voters are set to cast their ballot at the Victorian state election 2022.
Following the close of rolls on Tuesday November 8, 4,394,465 Victorians had enrolled to vote, creating an average of 49,937 voters per district, and 549,308 voters per region.
Despite over 1600 voting centres opening on Saturday November 26, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) expects many Victorians will choose to vote early at this election.
With 155 early voting centres open across the state from Monday November 14, the VEC has also introduced extended early voting hours on 3 weeknights and a Saturday in response to voter demand.
‘You don’t need a reason to vote early – you can choose which ever option is most convenient and suits your needs,’ VEC deputy electoral commissioner Dana Fleming said.
‘You could vote at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote. If you want to vote by post you need to apply before 6 pm on Wednesday 23 November.
‘For voters who need assistance to vote, such as people who are blind, have low vision, or those who have a physical disability and require assistance to vote, we have options including telephone-assisted voting or accessing the Convo app at a voting centre.”
