Early voting
Can’t make it to a polling booth on election day? Our early voting centres will open the week before polling day, giving you the flexibility to vote at a time that suits you. You’ll find early voting centres across South Australia, interstate, and even at select overseas locations. It’s all about making voting easier, wherever you are.
Polling day
Polling booths are open from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm on polling day. You can vote at any polling booth within the state; however, if you vote outside your own electoral district, you may experience delays as you will need to cast a declaration vote.
Voting in a hospital or a nursing home (declared institutions)
Residents of nursing homes, those in hospital or other institutions, such as prisons, can vote at state elections and by-elections with a mobile voting team. We send trained electoral teams to support the voting process. Locations, dates and times are available on the website closer to the election. Patients and residents of these institutions may also apply for a postal vote. These are known as "Declared institutions".
