“Updating your enrolment details is important so that we can correctly identify you on the electoral roll when you come to vote,” commissioner Walter van der Merwe said.

Under Queensland electoral legislation, electors have two opportunities to update their elector details.  

The first, which closed at 5pm on Saturday, was the close of rolls.  The second deadline closes at 6pm on Friday, January 30.

Electors who did not update or enrol by the first deadline will be required to complete additional paperwork to cast a vote for the election to correctly verify their identity and  eligibility.

Queenslanders can check, update and register their enrolment details via the ECQ election website at www.ecq.qld.gov.au.
