Kealy - Are You Election Ready?

The Nationals Member for Lowan, Emma Kealy is encouraging local residents to check their enrolment details, with Victorians heading to the polls on Saturday, 24 November 2018 - just four weeks away.

“It is important for all Victorians to be correctly enrolled on the state roll to make sure they have their say and their visit to the voting booth runs smoothly,” Ms Kealy said.

“It’s quite easy to check your enrolment details online at the Victorian Electoral Commission website www.vec.vic.gov.au or by telephoning 131 832.

“People enrolling for the first time or who want to update their details will need to contact the Victorian Electoral Commission directly.

To date, three candidates have announced their intention to contest the seat of Lowan, including Ms Kealy.

“Australia is a democratic country and voters are entitled to have a choice on election day,” Ms Kealy said.

“Our democratic system won’t flourish without competition – for ideas, policy and commitments to the electorate ahead of the election such as The Nationals commitment to bring back passenger rail to Horsham and Hamilton and to deliver a better deal on country roads through our Country Roads and Bridges Fund. 

“I consider it a privilege to represent the people of Lowan and I work hard every day on behalf of my constituents.

“I will be campaigning very hard to earn that privilege again.

“Regardless of what happens and who nominates between now and election day, I will be continuing my fight for a better deal for Lowan residents.”
