Enrol to Vote

Voting is a fundamental right and responsibility in our democracy. Dr. Barbara O'Shea's office can assist you with enrolling to vote or updating your electoral details.

Enrolling to vote ensures that you have a say in who represents you at all levels of government. In Australia, voting is compulsory for citizens aged 18 and over.

1

Check Your Eligibility

You are eligible to enrol to vote if you:

  • Are an Australian citizen (or a British subject who was on the Commonwealth electoral roll on 25 January 1984)
  • Are 18 years or older
  • Have lived at your current address for at least one month

You can enrol when you're 16 or 17, but you won't be able to vote until you turn 18.

Prepare Your Identification

To enrol, you'll need one of the following:

  • Your driver's license number
  • Your Australian passport number
  • Have someone who is already enrolled confirm your identity
