The CPSU wants all NSW workers and their families to vote in the NSW elections on March 24.
 
We urge all members to check their enrolment, and then enrol or correct their enrolments as need be.
 
You can check your enrolment on the AEC website at www.aec.gov.au 
 
You can print out the enrolment form from the site and post it to the AEC. It has to be signed by the applicant and witness, hence the need to print out.
 
The NSW rolls will close anytime between March 2 and 6. Members are advised to fix up their enrolment well beforehand
 
OTHER MATTERS
 
Encourage YOUNG people to enrol. Only 58% of 18 year olds were enrolled at the last federal election. 17 year olds can provisionally enrol before they turn 18 (but not vote until 18).
 
If a member expects to be OVERSEAS during the state or federal election, they have a couple of options:
 
* Register as an Overseas Elector. Aimed at people who are overseas for a longish period. This stops you getting knocked off the roll when overseas provided you vote. Not voting makes you liable to removal.
 
* Overseas Notification Form. Aimed at people temporarily overseas who are returning to their registered addresses. This leaves the voter on the roll, and it also acknowledges that the voter may not be able to vote.
 
Members can read further info on the AEC and the NSW Electoral Commission sites at www.aec.gov.au and www.elections.nsw.gov.au/
 
Please pass this message to your friends and co workers.
