                                      STATE ELECTION

                      https://www.elections.wa.gov.au/vote/election-day#earlyvoteWA

Early voting (in person)
The WA Electoral Commission is working closely with the WA Department of Health to manage the risks
around COVID-19 at the 2021 election, but the constantly changing situation means the WA Electoral
Commission cannot plan the lead-up to and the actual election with absolute certainty. Most
importantly, the WA Electoral Commission is encouraging everyone who has concerns about attending
a polling place on election day to vote prior to election day, either by postal vote or at an Early Voting
Centre.

At most early voting locations voting will be available for a three week period starting on 24 February
and ending at 6:00pm on Friday 12 March 2021. Early voting centres will be listed on this website and
will mostly be open from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays). Early voting centres
will also be open on Saturday 6 March 2021.
This is the link to the list of all Early Voting Centres throughout the state.

Postal voting
Early voting (by post) is made available at all State elections but is important in 2021 for those who may
be uncertain about casting their ballot in person. An application for a postal vote can be completed
electronically on the Commission's website or a printed form can be requested by contacting the
Commission on 13 63 06 and selecting option 2. Ballot papers will be posted to electors from Monday
22 February 2021. If posted by the elector on or before polling day, completed postal packages can be
accepted via mail until 9:00am on the Thursday following polling day.

Voting early at every election
In some circumstances, you may be eligible to apply for registration as a general early voter. This
means that ballot papers are automatically sent to you (by post) after an election has been announced
and ballot papers have been printed.

Eligibility
An elector can apply to be registered as a general early voter if the elector:
• lives more than 20 kilometres by the nearest practicable route from the nearest polling place
• is a patient in a hospital or similar institution
• due to serious personal illness is physically unable to travel to a polling place
• is caring for a person who is seriously ill or infirm
• is aged 70 years or over
• is registered as an overseas elector
• is registered as a silent elector or
• is an elector who because of religious beliefs, or membership of a religious order is precluded from
attending a polling place for all or most of the hours of polling.

                              Treasurer – Sharon Lemmers
        We would like to say a great big thank you to all our outgoing office bearers
        (Lisa, Leanne, and Virginia) for their tireless efforts on behalf of our branch.
      And we would like to extend a great big welcome to our new branch members;
                               Jane, Sharon, Lisa and Neta!
