When and where to vote
Polling day is Saturday 21 March 2026. Polling booths open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Accessibility ratings are included on the back of your EasyVote card.
Early voting
Early voting centres will open across South Australia, interstate capital cities and at some overseas consulates and embassies.
Postal voting
To vote by post, you first need to complete and lodge an application form. There are 3 ways you can obtain an official postal vote application:
- Download a postal vote application
- Pick one up from any Australia Post outlet
- Phone us on 1300 655 232 and we will send you one
EasyVote Cards
In early March, South Australian voters will receive an EasyVote Card in the post.
The card features a unique QR code that can be scanned when you go to vote. This will instantly mark your name off the electoral roll, making your voting experience streamlined and faster.
The card also includes a list of your nearest polling booths on the back.
PS Don't worry if you forget to bring the card or your phone to the polling booth. You can still vote. We will mark your name off the electoral roll manually.
