What if I wont be able to vote in Marrickville on 13 September?
If you are interstate or overseas and cannot get to a polling place on election day, you will be excused for failing to vote. When you receive a penalty notice, explain that you were interstate or overseas and you will be excused.
Pre-poll voting opens on 1 September
