Australian Electoral Commission
If you wish to vote in the federal election while overseas you must be enrolled to vote.
If you are currently enrolled, you can vote in person at an overseas voting centre.
Overseas voting centres are established at Australian Embassies, Consulates and High Commissions in the lead up to a federal election.
After an election is announced, you can apply for a postal vote online, or complete a postal vote application form.
If you are unable to vote you should complete and submit an Overseas Notification form [PDF 55KB].
If you do not inform the AEC, we will write to you asking you to explain why you did not vote. If you explain you were overseas on election day, you will not be fined.
No, you cannot vote online.
