Early voting began on May 9, but especially keen voters will have to wait a little longer before pre-polls open next week.

The election will be held on May 21, when Australians will flock to the polling booths to have their voices heard and pick up their traditional 'democracy sausage.'
While many will attend the polling booths on the day - others are especially keen to make their voices heard, and still more will just want to get the election over with.
For those, early voting will only begin on May 14 for the electorate of Farrer.
Early voting in Leeton will be at the Leeton Council Chambers at 25 Chelmsford Place, between May 14 and May 20. The chambers will be open from 9am to 4pm on May 14, returning on May 16 between the hours of 8.30am to 5.30pm.
May 20, the last chance to pre-vote, will see the chambers remain open for an extra 30 minutes for any stragglers or long workers.
For those who've travelled here from other states, interstate voting will require a trip to Griffith, to the Aboriginal Community Centre on polling day. There are no options in Leeton itself for interstate voters.
Of course, postal voting is also an option for those unable to attend a polling place on May 21. Whether that's overseas travellers, the elderly or the disabled, they can apply for a postal vote until May 18. Postal vote applications are available through the Australian Electoral Commission website.
IN OTHER NEWS:
Postal votes must be completed and witnessed either on or prior to election day, and sent quickly as they must be received by the AEC within two weeks.
It's important to note that there is no way to vote online in a Commonwealth election, and any information to the contrary is fraudulent.
Voting over the phone is an option however, for specific categories.
If you are vision-impaired, currently in Antarctica or are positive for COVID-19 on voting day, you can vote over the phone by contacting 1800 913 993. You will be asked a few questions to check your details, and you will also be asked to choose a PIN.
You will then receive a telephone voting registration number by your choice of an email, SMS, phone call or mail.
Early voters have a range of options, but for those voting in person, you will only have to choose where to vote. Polling booths will be at Leeton Public School on Mallee Street, the Catholic Presbytery on Wade Avenue, Parkview Public School on Park Avenue or Gralee Support School on Yanco Avenue.
