Alongside these actions, the VEC will direct its energy into conducting the 2018 State election. While it is easy to consider each State election as simply an exercise in repetition, the dynamic nature of the Victorian electoral landscape requires a customised response: population growth and dispersion is significant; electors expect to vote at their convenience and with ready access to information; results are to be immediate, accurate and of the highest integrity. The challenge for the VEC is to respond, and the next Annual Report will outline our efforts and successes. Warwick Gately AM Electoral Commissioner
