Postal voting means your ballot paper will be sent to you in the mail for the by-election.
It is now too late to apply for a postal vote for the Farrer by-election.
Your postal vote certificate and ballot paper must be completed on or before by-election day. We encourage you to do this as soon as possible after receiving your postal vote pack.
For your vote to count, the AEC must receive your completed postal vote certificate and ballot paper no later than 13 days after the election.
Please refer to the ‘How to complete your postal vote’ pamphlet included in your postal pack for the ‘Things to check’. Completing these steps accurately will ensure your postal vote reaches us and is able to be counted. Further information on how to complete and return your postal vote is also provided in the Frequently asked questions – Postal voting.
The AEC can only legally count postal votes that are completed on or before by-election day and received by the AEC in Australia by the 13th day after by-election day.
See Overseas voting for more information on how to vote from overseas.
For more information on postal voting see this factsheet.
