Program hoping to inspire locals to enrol to vote ahead of NT elections

Published 20 May 2024, 9:57 am

Australia boasts some of the highest enrolment rates in the democratic world, but getting people to show up to the ballot box is a different story. In the Northern Territory, where voter turnout is persistently low, it’s hoped a new engagement program will help inspire locals to get involved ahead of elections in August. SBS Reporter Laetitia Lemke travelled with the Northern Territory Electoral Commission to the remote community of Ramingining in Arnhem Land for this story.
