Letter shares important election information with voters
AROUND 54,000 letters from the Northern Territory Electoral Commission (NTEC) containing information
about the 2016 Territory election are on their way to voting Territorians.
The letters addressed to ‘the voter’ and posted in a bright yellow envelope have been lodged with
Australia Post today and Territorians will start receiving them over the next week or so, NT Electoral
Commissioner Iain Loganathan said.
“The letter provides an important reminder to Territorians they need to ensure they are correctly
enrolled for their current address before the electoral roll closes on Wednesday 10 August.
“Enrolling to vote or updating details is easy and can be done online in a few minutes by going to
ntec.nt.gov.au.
“Recent electoral changes mean any voter now can choose to early vote and early voting centres are
open from 15 August.
“An explanation of the optional preferential voting system that will be used at this election, is also
included in the letter,” he said.
The letter is going to households with a deliverable mail address where someone is enrolled and forms
part of the NTEC’s voter information campaign.
All information on early voting, optional preferential voting or any other matter relating to the 2016
Territory election is available at ntec.nt.gov.au or by calling 1800 698 683 or by emailing your query to
