Australian Electoral Commission
The AEC is notifying more than 200,000 households in Victoria that they are enrolled in a different electoral division after federal boundaries were redrawn in the state last year.
AEC State Manager for Victoria Nye Coffey said that a federal election must be held sometime in the next four months.
“With a federal election coming it is important that voters are familiar with the seat they’ll be voting in for the House of Representatives,” Mr Coffey said.
“Redrawn boundaries mean a lot of people will be voting in different seats to last time, so we’re letting them know in a few ways including by sending letters and running ads on social media.”
“It is an automatic change made on their enrolment record but the action required by voters is simply to know what their seat is ahead of time so they can be prepared when they’re thinking about who they might vote for.”
