We are going to send a request to the SERVEL through the Chilean embassy in Australia and the support of the General Consul to bring the ballot boxes to QLD. (Also to bring back the machine to renew expired passports, IDs, and/or “clave unica”, there is already a long waiting list from the last time it was in Brisbane).
And don’t forget to update your electoral address!
