A date for the Rockingham by-election has been set.
It will be held on Saturday, July 29 after Mark McGowan announced his resignation as both Premier and Member for Rockingham.
Eligible residents are being urged to make sure they are enrolled to vote or update their enrolment information.
“To vote in the Rockingham by-election, eligible residents have until 6pm on Friday 16 June to either enrol to vote or to update their enrolment details,” Western Australian Electoral Commissioner Robert Kennedy said.
“If you live in the District of Rockingham and have recently turned 18 or become an Australian citizen, you’re strongly encouraged to enrol to vote so you can have your say at the 29 July by-election.
“If you’ve moved into or out of the Rockingham area in the last couple of years or aren’t sure about your enrolment details, you can check and update your enrolment at elections.wa.gov.au.
“If you’re not on the roll by 6pm on Friday 16 June, you won’t be able to vote, so it’s best to act quickly.
“As with all State elections, it’s compulsory for eligible electors to vote in the Rockingham by-election. If you can’t make it on polling day, there are opportunities for early voting or postal voting.”
Visit elections.wa.gov.au for more information about the Rockingham by-election, including how to check or update your enrolment.
