Early voting opens today for the Groom by-election.

Acting Australian Electoral Officer for Queensland Adrian McCabe said differing COVID-19 circumstances meant it was more important than ever to consider the range of in-person and postal voting options available.

“When it comes to choosing your method of voting, carefully consider your personal circumstances and seek information from the AEC website as early as possible,” Mr McCabe said.

Two early voting centres, one at 21 Rocla Ct, Glenvale and 101 Mort St, Toowoomba, will open today, while two other centres at 180 Herries St, Toowoomba and the Concannon College Dining Hall at 131 Baker St, will open next week.

All four will be open from Monday to Friday for the two weeks starting on Monday.

All early voting centres will also be open on Saturday, November 21.

Postal vote applications can be lodged with the AEC until 6pm AEST on November 25, but Mr McCabe said it was crucial to apply early.

“If you need a postal vote, please don’t leave it to the last minute,” Mr McCabe said.

“For some locations, an application left until the last minute creates the risk that the AEC simply can’t get ballot papers to you, despite our best efforts.”
