Dear Families, Friends & Representatives,

We wish to advise that Whiddon Kyogle will have a polling booth onsite for this year’s Referendum, held on the 3^rd of October between 11am and 2pm.

This means all families must be aware they are required to ensure their loved ones voting details are up to date before this date. Otherwise, the options are as follows:

1. Arrange to take them to an external polling booth
2. Remove your loved one from the electoral roll
3. Opt to pay the fine associated with not voting
