A full system of online enrolment should be a priority for Australia’s new government after the election, writes George Williams in the National Times. Professor Williams discusses the fact that up to 1.4 million Australians are missing from the roll and will be unable to vote next month, and discusses the controversial efforts by the Getup! organisation to recruit young voters. Update: Crikey’s Pollytics blog analyses the impact of the decision to close the roll on the Monday after the 2010 election was announced.
