Can you lend a hand?

Early voting kicks off on Tuesday. If you can lend a hand at one of the three Early Voting Centres – or on Election Day 3 May – it will make a huge difference. Even if you only have a couple of hours to spare. You will have a lot of fun and get to be part of a history making election!

If you haven’t put your name down as yet to help distribute How-to-Vote cards at one of the three Early Voting Centres, please contact Liz Atkinson on 0419 876 215 or email elizabeth.atkinson1@bigpond.com or your closest Booth Captain to schedule a time, or times, that suit you.
