EARLY voting options for the Federal Election have now opened.

- 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
The pre-polling booth is located at 351 Bong Bong Street, Bowral.
Early votes can also be cast through a postal vote, which must be applied for online.
