The Elector Enquiry Centre is accessible through a toll free number (1300 135 736) and is being staffed between 8.30am and 5.30pm Monday to Friday and on Election Day. “It will support our website which has been updated with important information so no matter where you live, you can access the latest information about these elections,” said NSW Electoral Commissioner Colin Barry. 

During last year’s State election more than 200,000 voters called the Elector Enquiry Centre with popular queries such as checking their enrolment status, electorate information, pre-poll and postal voting arrangements and polling place locations.

For the first time at local government elections, electors can call our 1300 135 736 enquiry centre to get an answer on any election question.” 

The NSWEC also provides a telephone typewriter service for the hearing and speech impaired through TTY 02 9247 3568. 

The NSWEC website now includes a search function that allows electors to find the nearest polling place to their home. The electoral snapshot includes in-depth information about their local government area, boundary maps, the council’s structure and local demographics. “A virtual tally room will also carry results of the local council elections from 7pm on election night. This is a first for council elections and is part of our decision to conduct these elections to the same high standard as a state or federal election.” 

Voters should check their enrolment details online before the roll closes at 6.00pm on 4 August.  

More information is available at www.elections.nsw.gov.au or by calling 1300 135 736.  more ..
