Australian Electoral Commission
Voting in a federal election is not compulsory for Australians overseas. 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.
No. Australia’s electoral laws do not allow for online voting.
