minus-squareNath@aussie.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·9 months agoOur elections are always on a Saturday from 9am to 6pm. We also always have a few polling stations open for two weeks before voting day so you can vote early if you can’t make it on the official date. We have to vote. We get a $100 fine if we don’t.
