Postal voting eligibility
If your circumstances make it difficult for you to go to a voting centre on election day, you may be eligible to apply for a postal vote.
General postal voters
General postal voters automatically receive ballot papers in the mail for federal, state and local government elections. The Australian Electoral Commission keeps a register of general poster voters for every state and territory.
To find out if you are eligible to register as a general postal voter and to download an application form, visit the Australian Electoral Commission website.
