Australian Electoral Commission
If you wish to vote in the federal election while overseas you must be enrolled to vote.
If you are currently enrolled, you can vote in person at an Overseas Voting Centre.
Overseas Voting Centres are established at selected Australian Embassies, Consulates and High Commissions for each federal election. A list of Voting Centres will be made available when a federal election has been announced.
After an election is announced, you can apply for a postal vote online, or complete a postal vote application form.
If you are unable to vote you should complete and submit an Overseas notification form.
If you do not inform the AEC, we will write to you asking you to explain why you did not vote. If you explain you were overseas on election day, you will not be fined.
No, you cannot vote online.
