The Federal Election's been called for May 21, meaning the Hunter only has seven days to make sure we're enrolled to vote.
All Australian citizens aged 18 years or older need to be signed up by 8pm on Monday 18 April.
We're also being reminded to check our address, in case we've moved house in the past few years.
If you're not correctly enrolled or fail to vote without a reason, you could face a $20 fine.
You can check your status or enrol for the first time at www.aec.gov.au/enrol/.
