EARLY voting locations will not be as easy for locals to access as they have been in past federal elections, with just one located in the Latrobe Valley in the lead up to polling day.
Voters from the Gippsland electorate, which encompasses Morwell, Traralgon and Churchill, can visit an early polling centre in Traralgon East from next Thursday if they need to vote early.
For those who reside within the McMillan electorate, which includes Moe, the nearest early voting centre is in Warragul and opened on Tuesday.
The Australian Electoral Commission website can be accessed at www.aec.gov.au for all voting details.
