Our Facebook page has been created for electoral information and to respond to your questions.

We have 5 simple rules for posting:

1. Please don't post about politics. As the organisation that conducts State, local and some commercial elections and polls in Victoria, we do not comment on candidates, parties or policies. To make sure our Facebook page does not influence or prejudice any election, we can't allow posts that appear to preference a candidate or party.
2. Please be respectful, and consider other points of view when posting. We can't allow content or links to content that could be considered offensive, defamatory, obscene, threatening, or otherwise not appropriate for an audience of all ages.
3. Please don't post any of your own or anyone else's personal information. If you need to enrol or check your electoral enrolment, visit the Enrolment section of this website or call 131 832 and one of our staff will help you confidentially.
4. Please keep posts relevant to the VEC, or the services we provide. This page exists so that people can discuss and learn about the democratic process.
5. Please don't spam or try to advertise on our page. Multiple, duplicated or repetitive posts do not educate or further the democratic debate.

All feedback (either positive or negative) is helpful to us. We will do our best to respond directly to as many posts as possible.

While we support lively, open discussion, we reserve the right to delete any comments that don't comply with our rules, or which are otherwise deemed inappropriate. Any users who repeatedly break these rules may be blocked.

We may choose to follow organisations or individuals that are relevant to us or the Australian electoral sector. Being followed by us does not imply endorsement of any kind.

We will regularly archive our feed for the purposes of future analysis and to comply with public record capture requirements.

Posts and content attributed to the VEC are authorised by S. Bluemmel, Electoral Commissioner, 530 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria.
