If you can't make it to a polling place in your state or territory on election day, there are options. If eligible, you can vote:
Not all early voting centres are open every day. Check the opening times before you visit.
AEC mobile polling teams visit many electors who are not able to get to a polling place. Mobile polling facilities are set up in some hospitals, nursing homes, prisons and remote areas of Australia.
Application forms are available from any Australia Post outlet. The AEC must receive your application for a postal vote no later than 6pm Thursday 5 September 2013.
You can vote at any polling place in your state or territory on election day. Polling place information is updated daily.
A full list of polling places is also available.
Electoral boundaries may change between elections so you should check which electorate you live in.
Who you choose to vote for is your decision. Outside the polling place, candidate representatives may give you how-to-vote cards, suggesting you vote in a particular way. You do not have to follow how-to-vote cards.
