Law change planned allowing online re-enrolment and update of details
A law change is planned that will allow people to re-enrol or update their enrolment details online, without the need for a signed enrolment form.
When people enrol or update their details now they can fill in the information online but they must complete the process by signing the completed form.
The proposed law change in the Electoral (Administration) Amendment Bill No.2 will let people re-enrol and make changes to their details online using the ‘igovt’ government logon service which will require a password to protect security.
The new online enrolment update facility is expected to be available for the next General Election, once the new bill has been passed.
