ASHOOR I am posting this here so it gets attention from people who may not visit the politics section.
To Assyrians residing in Melbourne you have the opportunity to vote in the upcoming Iraqi elections.
Registration and voting will take place on the 5th, 6th and 7th of March.
You are elible to vote if:
- You are an Iraqi citizen
- Your parents or grandparents were born in Iraq
- You are born on or before 31 December 1992 (18 years old +)
Documents to bring:
2 official documents from the below:
1 - Iraqi original documents
a. Civil identification card (haweyat alahwal almadaneya)
b. Iraqi Nationality Certificate (shahadat aljinseya aliraqya)
c. Iraqi passport
2 - Foreign documents:
a. Refugee certificate issued by the UNITED NATIONS
b. Certificate issued by RED CROSS
If you are neither a refugee or an Iraqi citizen bring your standard documents such as a drivers licence, Medicare card, passport etc. as well as documents that prove your father is Iraqi. You will be unable to vote if you cannot demonstrate that you, or your parents or grandparents are/were Iraqi citizens.
Polling Stations in Melbourne:
1. Migrant Resource Centre (North West Region/Hume Office): 60 Belfast Street Broadmeadows (9351 1210)
2. Weasly Hall, Maude Street, Shepperton
As the Iraqi government has run the election campaign disgracefully in Australia and Melbourne in particular please pass on the information to all your relatives and get them to vote. Use e-mail, facebook, word of mouth or print out these details and hand them out. At this stage most people in Melbourne do not have the full election details
