Make sure you are enrolled.

You can't enroll once advance voting starts.

To vote in a general election you need to be enrolled by midnight, 13 days before Election Day.

For the 2026 General Election this means you can't enrol or update your details after midnight, 25 October 2026.

Damn, that's a huge number. I wasn't expecting it to be so large.

I don't see a reason why the cutoff had to be the advance voting period either, if it's about getting results quicker. Definitely seems to be the reason you point out.

Getting results a bit quicker is the cover story; disenfranchisement is the goal, and it is of a specific portion of the population.
