for 3 years. Following amendments to the Liquor Control Reform Act 1998, these dry areas were abolished so the polls no longer need to be conducted. Electoral enrolment The VEC's Electoral Enrolment Branch maintains the State electoral roll. Unlike all other states (with the exception of Western Australia), the VEC maintains its own roll rather than depending on the Commonwealth roll which is maintained by the AEC. The VEC still receives updates from the AEC to ensure that the Commonwealth and Victorian rolls mirror each other. The VEC conducts several promotional programs to ensure that electors update their information when their enrolment details change. Boundary redistributions The VEC assists the Electoral Boundaries Commission in redistributing state electoral boundaries from time to time. It also performs similar tasks in relation to local government.
