These efforts are a continuation of ANC Australia’s ‘Enrol To Vote
Campaign’, which began in earnest at the 39th Annual Navasartian Games last
month and has since seen the enrolment of over 200 previously unregistered
voters; the majority of whom are members of the community’s youth.
"This campaign is all about adding voice to Armenian issues in Australia,"
explained campaign coordinator and ANC Australia Political Relations
Officer, Mr. Raymond Nazloomian. "The community has responded magnificently
to our committee’s call to show our true numbers in the lead-up to the
Federal Election later this year."
In the upcoming elections, the Armenian-Australian community is expected to
hold the balance of power in Prime Minister John Howard’s marginal seat of
Bennelong.
"By the end of this campaign, Armenian-Australians will represent
approximately 5% of Bennelong’s voting populace," added Mr. Nazloomian.
The Armenian-Australian community also represents significant numbers in
Western Sydney, the Northern Beaches and the North Shore in New South Wales,
as well as the South-East of Melbourne in Victoria.
Mr. Nazloomian stated: "ANC Australia will present our community’s issues to
all candidates from Armenian-populated areas in the lead-up to the
elections and will publicise their responses in an effort to guide the
Armenian-Australian vote."
