As of yesterday, all Australians registered to vote in the same-sex marriage survey should have received the form on which to do so, as there is no possible way in which to tally such a thing digitally and cheaply. What’s that? You haven’t got your form yet?
First step: panic the fuck out – your voice will not be heard, your vote will not be counted, and you and you alone have irreversibly damaged the fabric of our society. In fact, maybe you don’t exist. Maybe you never existed – you’ve secretly thought it before, haven’t you?
Now, calm down and release this is not and cannot be the case, and it’s quite easy to rectify this voting form thing.
“The quickest and easiest way to contact us and request a replacement form is via our website.“, ABS Deputy Australian Statistician Jonathan Palmer assured everyone yesterday. “You will be sent a replacement form, and the original form will be made invalid.”
You can also visit one the capital city or regional pick-up locations, or call the Information Line on 1800 572 113.
Requests for new forms close on Friday, October 20 at 6pm, so get it sorted – you have plenty of time, but, as we keep warning you, time is a traveller. Now, a song.
