Canberrans can be forgiving for not knowing there’s a by-election underway in the West Australian seat of Vasse.

Fortunately Elections ACT has set out its stall Civic Square to let us know that, should we need to, we can cast our votes with them.

South West of Perth on the Vasse River the seat’s vacancy has been created by the resignation of the celebrated chair-sniffer Troy Buswell.

Vasse has always returned Liberals so one almost wonders why they’re bothering.

Before anyone rushes the electoral Commission prior to Saturday’s vote remember you would need to already be enrolled to vote in the seat.
