Early votes

As May 18 approaches, South West residents have been reminded they can cast their vote early if they cannot make it to a polling booth on election day.

More than 500 early-voting centres around the country opened yesterday in the wake of a record 96.8 per cent enrolment rate.

Bunbury residents looking to cast their vote before May 18 can do so at the Prinsep Building on Prinsep Street.

“We have the most complete electoral roll since Federation and we’re providing a broad range of voting services,” electoral commissioner Tom Rogers said.
