Electronic voting demonstrations
03 September 2007
For the first time in Australian history, people who are blind or have low vision will be able to cast an independent and secret vote in this year's Federal election.
People are invited to participate in an electronic voting demonstration, prior to the election, at some of our local centres over the coming weeks.
Small group demonstrations (between 1 - 3 people) will be run with appointments every half hour.
