Today is the last day to enrol to vote or change your enrolment details (it closes August 24, at 11:59pm), so you can be a part of the postal survey about legalising same-sex marriage. 

Since the announcement of the survey, it's not just the queer community who are helping spread the word about checking your enrolment details - companies all around Australia have, too.

Local pubs, cafes, churches, government departments, and a variety of small businesses have been putting up signs encouraging Aussies to enrol to vote, and make their voice heard.
Here's some of the best signs we've noticed around the country:

The Menagerie Cafe, Brisbane QLD

Newtown Fire Station, Newtown NSW

The Low Road Café, Windsor QLD

The Parlour Bakery, Brisbane QLD

Northcote Social Club, Northcote VIC

21 Red Espresso, Killarney Vale NSW

City of Melbourne, VIC

Gosford Anglican Church, Gosford NSW

St Michael's, Melbourne VIC

Pakington Cottage, Geelong VIC

The Hardware Societe, Melbourne VIC

The Lansdowne, Sydney NSW

Mary's, Newtown NSW

There's less than 24 hours left to enrol and update your voting details, including your address, which is fundamental to be able to vote in the postal survey. To check your enrolment details, head to check.aec.gov.au - it only takes 2 minutes!

The non-binding postal survey will begin to be mailed out on September 12th, and must be sent by mail to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) - they have to receive it before 6pm on November 7th. We'll find out the results on November 15.
