How we choose voting centres for Victoria's state election

Описание: 4.7 million Victorians will be voting at this year’s state election. How do we choose the voting centres?

We started this process over a year ago because we need to consider the estimated vote count, voter safety, accessibility, and finding suitable venues in locations that are as close to as many people as possible, across every corner of the state.

To help us choose places for voting centres, we research historical, numerical and spatial data.

We know some communities will be disappointed not to have a voting centre in their local area. We place centres where they can safely and efficiently serve the greatest number of voters.

This means looking at Victoria as a whole and locating voting centres as close as possible to as many people as possible.

For this election we’ve increased the number of early voting centres and introduced joint voting centres to improve the voting experience for Victorians this year.
