ancientcitadelOkay, the election has been called. Polling day will be August 21 - and that leaves until just 8pm Monday for new enrolments and until Wednesday to update details like your address!
While you may already be enrolled to vote, you probably know several people who are not.
Do you know anyone who turned 18 in the last year? Have any of your friends moved house, got married and changed their name, become an Australian citizen or moved overseas?
If you know anyone who fits into the above category - and let's face it, you probably do - then our democracy is relying on you today.
Visit www.aec.gov.au now and make sure your details are up to date
Then, make sure all your friends, family and colleagues do the same -- before 8pm Monday night.
If the people you're thinking of right now are not enrolled by 8pm Monday night, then they won't be able to vote in this year's historic election. Not only could they be fined over $100 for not being on the electoral roll, they'll miss out on a once in a 3 year chance to have their say about the issues that matter to them.
