Crucial ‘Vote Talk’ sessions to be held in Sydney on upcoming local elections

·

The Greek Orthodox Community of NSW (GOCNSW) is set to help facilitate crucial sessions ahead of the upcoming Local Government elections, providing Hellenic members of the community with essential information to increase their knowledge on them.

The sessions, organised by the GOCNSW Welfare Department, are being held in partnership with the Ethnic Communities’ Council of NSW and the NSW Electoral Commission as part of the ‘Vote Talk’ program aimed at getting information on the elections out to the community. 

The GOCNSW is facilitating four free information workshops on the upcoming elections on 14 September, which will be delivered by Greek Bilingual educators Antonis Ampatzis and Poppy Gerakios. 

The information sessions will be politically neutral as they delve deep into various topics on the elections. 

These include providing a general overview, explaining how to enrol to vote, check or update your enrolment, the voting options available, what to expect from a polling place, how to fill your ballot paper correctly and working at an election.

The first session will be held at the Ashfield Council Activity Rooms 3 and 4 on Thursday 22 August (11am-12pm), with the other sessions organised for the following week. 

Two of them will take place at the Greek Community Club in Lakemba on Monday 26 August (11am-12pm) and Friday 30 August (10.45-11.45am) while the other session will be held in between on Wednesday 28 August at Casula Community Centre (11am-12pm). 

The workshops promise to deliver valuable information for the wider Greek community in NSW, contributing to the nationwide aim that all culturally and linguistically diverse know all the important information on the elections. 

The event is free for all with registrations essential. To ensure your spot, please call the GOCNSW Welfare Department at (02) 9740 6022. For more information on programs, please visit www.goc.com.au.
