Tomorrow, Saturday 3 May, is federal election day and the AEC has some reminders for voters ahead of the big day.
It’s compulsory: Voting in the 2025 federal election is compulsory for the 18.1 million people on the electoral roll. Anyone who does not cast a vote will not only miss out on having their say in the election but will also receive a non-voter notice and may have to pay a fine.
With two days of voting to go, Australian Electoral Commissioner Jeff Pope is reminding all enrolled Australians who are yet to cast their vote in the 2025 federal election to do so.
“We still have remote voting services today in various locations, mobile voting teams in operation, overseas voting centres, postal votes to be returned and early voting centres as well,” Mr Pope said.
“Most of the places our remote teams are visiting today are across the NT, WA and QLD.”
We’ve been sharing information about our remote voter services in some newspapers, through local radio, community noticeboards, community leaders and other mediums.
Anyone who do not cast a vote will not only miss out on having their say in the election but will also receive a non-voter notice and may have to pay a fine.
