Eugowra voters are in the electorate of Calare and can vote from 8am to 6pm at Eugowra Public School.
Australian Electoral Commissioner Jeff Pope said those who can vote on Saturday 3 May need to do that.
"If you can’t then you can vote at one of our many early voting centres across the country," he said.
"I encourage all voters to consider their circumstances and plan their vote.
“The bulk of our work still happens on election day, but for a variety of reasons it’s clear from past elections that more Australians are needing to access early voting options. Just over half of all voters cast an early vote, including a postal vote in 2022, and we expect that number to be similar this year.”
The AEC has also begun visiting residential aged care, hospitals, mental health care, and other residential facilities and establishments to help people cast their vote.
Approximately 1.8 million postal vote applications have been made, and postal vote packs have already started to be dispatched to Australian voters here and overseas.
