We have been talking to many different community groups about the new rules in the Elections Act and how they impact voting. We want to help you understand these changes and how they affect your vote. We also want to tell you how to sign up for voting and share useful info about the voting process.
Our website will still host up to date information on elections which you can find on our elections homepage.

To help with this we've also put together an Elections Outreach Pack with ten fact sheets to assist everyone in the community with their voting.
We encourage everyone to give them a read and kindly share them with family and friends, particularly those who may not have internet access or may need additional assistance.
The ten fact sheets in the Elections Outreach Pack are:
- The Elections Act - key changes in the elections and voting process
- Voter ID - what photo ID you need to vote in a polling station, and how to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate if you do not posses such ID
