Attend a voting centre

Voting centre locations and opening hours will be published on the VEC website from Wednesday 4 November.

If you would like to visit a voting centre during the voting period or the count, please contact the VEC Communication team beforehand at communication@vec.vic.gov.au to arrange your visit. On arrival, please check in with the venue manager and complete our visitor registration form.

Filming and photography guidelines

Voting centre staff are focused on making sure voting is secure and processes are met. When filming or taking photographs at voting centres, we ask that you:

  • do not block access to the venue
  • do not film personal details of voters or candidates
  • only capture ballot papers from a distance and at an angle so that they cannot be read
  • do not enter or film any ballot paper secure storage zone
  • respect the wishes of anyone who does not want to be photographed or filmed.

Please direct requests for interviews with staff to the VEC Communication team.
