The first votes have been cast in next month’s federal election at an early voting centre in Murray Bridge.
A polling booth opened at Murray Bridge Marketplace on Tuesday for anyone who will be busy, and unable to vote, on May 3.

- will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled to vote, or more than eight kilometres from a polling place, on election day
- will be unable to leave your workplace between 8.30am and 6pm on election day
- are seriously ill, infirm, due to give birth, in hospital or living with disability
- are caring for someone in one of those situations
- have a reasonable fear for your safety or wellbeing
- have religious beliefs that prevent you from attending a polling place
The early voting centre will be open from 8.30am to 5.30pm on weekdays between now and election day, except Anzac Day; 9am-4pm this Saturday; and until 6pm next Friday, May 2.
Alternatively, eligible voters may apply to vote by post.
