The Federal Election – Postal Voting
Thursday 12 May 2016
Australia will be holding a Federal Election on Saturday 2 July 2016.
If you are eligible to vote but unable to attend a polling booth due to ill-health, you can offer a postal vote.
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has this information on its General Postal Voters web page:
General Postal Voters
Can I register to be a general postal voter?
You can register to become a general postal voter if you are:
- enrolled at an address more than 20 km away from a polling place
- a patient at a hospital or nursing home and unable to travel to a polling place
- unable to travel due to being infirm at home
- caring for a seriously ill or infirm person
- serving a prison sentence of less than 3 years
- registered as a silent elector
- unable to attend a polling place due to religious beliefs
- unable to sign your name due to a physical incapacity
- registered as an overseas elector
- a member of the defence force, or a defence civilian serving outside Australia

Once you are registered as a general postal voter, you will automatically receive your ballot papers in the mail after an election has been announced. You do not need to re-apply for future elections.
