Your vote is especially powerful here in Ryan this election.
Your choice in Ryan is between Peter Dutton's LNP and the Greens. By voting Greens you'll keep me in as a strong independent voice in parliament, holding the major parties to account and working for things like getting dental into Medicare, real climate action, and getting corporate influence out of politics.
This page will host all the information you need to vote: enrolling to vote, polling locations, early voting times and locations and how to postal vote. It will be regularly updated as we get closer to the election and more information is released by the Australian Electoral Commission.
The election will be held on May 3 2025.
