The commercial geographic domain names ballot is closing shortly, finishing this Sunday 31 July at 17:00 Eastern Australian time.

We have received a significant number of ballot applications and clearly some place names will be very hotly contested indeed.

Remember you can only apply once for any particular geographic .au domain name, so if you've already applied don't apply again or you risk invalidating all your requests.

If you have not yet applied, act now while there's still a chance.

The first round ballot entry winners are expected to be notified early in August.
