Not on the electoral roll but want to vote?
The electoral roll closes at 5:00pm on 27 February 2026. If you’re eligible to vote but not yet enrolled, you can go to a voting centre, enrol on the spot, and vote on the same day. This is especially helpful for young people and new citizens, who may not be enrolled to vote.

If you are going overseas for a short period of time and plan to return to your address in Australia you can advise the Australian Electoral Commission of your absence. If you are unsure whether you will be returning to Australia, you may request that your name be removed from the electoral roll.
