I need to enrol to vote by tomorrow 8:00pm? Will I be able to do it?

I have filled out the form online, but now it says i have to sign it, then send it in the mail (or fax it) to the Australian electoral commission.Wouldn't it take at least a week for the mail to reach the destination? It's usually the case that mail doesn't take less than 24 hours. So, if that's the case how am I going to be enrolled by 8:00pm tomorrow?The other option is to fax it, but I don't even have a fax machine. Does anyone here even have a fax machine?|||You could have enrolled anytime since your 17th birthday.*If a person is 17 years old and an Australian citizen, they may enrol but are not entitled to vote until they turn 18.http://www.aec.gov.au/Enrolling_to_vote/…If you are already enrolled and need to update your address you have until 8pm Thursday.If you are not enrolled you must email or deliver the form in person, not mail it.
