2007 Federal Election guide now available

The official guide to Australia’s 2007 federal election has recently issued with hardcopies being distributed to households in Australia.

In addition to the hardcopy, the guide is also available in a range of accessible format which include information about the assistance available for electors with a disability and about e-voting. The guide can also be downloaded as an audio MP3, e-text or large print PDF version.

Highlights of the election guide are:

* Election day is 24 November 2007

* Polling places will open at 8am and close at 6pm sharp

* You can vote any any polling place in your electorate on election day.

* If you cannot get to a polling place in your electorate, there are other ways to vote.

* Voting is compulsory for Australian citizens on the electoral roll aged 18 years and over. If you do not vote and do not have a good reason, you may face a penalty.

Detailed information is available at the Australian Electoral Commission at www.aec.gov.au
