Are you Enrolled to Vote?

By Amy Wells

Hi, I’m Tash please sign up and be part of history by leaving your stamp in a Lincoln Uni RAM edition. Once printed you can keep a cool nostalgic and tangible RAM magazine to look back on in years to come, and remember all the things you got up to during your time here at Lincoln.

RAM is a great space to express yourself!

For many of us at university, this year will be the first time we get to vote in the general elections.

It’s easy to check if you’re enrolled to vote by heading to vote.nz/enrolling and where it says, “I want to check or update” click “check online”. Enter your details and you’ll be able to see if you’re enrolled. It pays to check your address so that your easy vote card doesn’t go to your old flat.

FUN FACT: On average it takes voters under the age of 25 just 4-5 minutes to enrol online using their driver licence. This is faster than any other age group.

The 2023 General Election will be held on Saturday 14th

October 2023 with advance voting starting on Monday 2nd October. By voting you get a say in who represents us in Parliament making laws and decisions that affect our everyday lives.

Here at LUSA we know this is all a bit new and can be overwhelming. So to make the process easier, we’re working with the uni to have a voting station available on campus.

We’re also going to be inviting all the candidates standing in Selwyn to speak in an election debate here on campus on September 27th at 1 pm.
