Voters looking to dodge crowds on polling day can now vote at Albany’s early voting centre on York Street ahead of the Federal election on Saturday, May 21.

People aged 18 and over registered to vote can do so at 190 York Street, near the Premier Hotel, every day except Sunday until May 20.

Early voting has been steadily increasing since 2004, with early votes accounting for 40 per cent of all votes at the 2019 Federal Election.
