Australian Electoral Commission
When you arrive to vote you will be asked 3 questions:
There are several options for you to vote:
Polling place on election day – You can vote at any polling place in your state or territory on election day. Polling places are usually located at local schools, churches and community halls or public buildings.
Early voting – If you can’t get to a polling place on election day you might be eligible to vote at an early voting centre. These are open 2 weeks before polling day.
Postal voting – You might be eligible to apply for a postal vote if you can’t get to a polling place on election day.
Mobile voting team – AEC mobile voting teams visit many voters who can’t get to a polling place. Mobile voting teams will visit some residential care facilities and remote areas of Australia, as well as some homelessness services, some residential locations for people with disability and some prisons. These will be listed on the website closer to the election.
Interstate voting – If you are outside the state or territory on election day where you are enrolled to vote, you must either vote at an interstate voting centre or you may vote by post or complete an early vote before travelling.
More details on voting will be available on the AEC website once an election has been announced.
When you vote in a polling place on election day, you can ask for help. You could ask a friend, family member or the AEC staff.
To help you get ready to vote, look at the resources on this page.
