As of Monday, May 9, you don't have to - you can vote early.
The Australian Electoral Commission says, you can vote early - either in person or by post - if you:
- are outside the electorate where you are enrolled to vote
- are more than 8km from a polling place
- are travelling
- are unable to leave your workplace to vote
- are seriously ill, infirm or due to give birth shortly (or caring for someone who is)
- are a patient in hospital and can't vote at the hospital
- have religious beliefs that prevent you from attending a polling place
- are in prison serving a sentence of less than three years or otherwise detained
- are a silent elector
- have a reasonable fear for your safety.
Tick one of those boxes? And don't forget, voting is compulsory.
Check out where you can vote in the electorates covering the Illawarra - and, check out the accessibility as well as the parking arrangements at each pre-polling station.
