An Australian federal election has been called for Saturday 18 May 2019.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) states: if you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or older you are required to vote in the federal election.

To do this, you must enrol to vote (if you aren’t enrolled already) by 8pm local time Thursday 18 April 2019. To enrol, complete the online form on the AEC website.

If you are already enrolled but need to update your details, you can update your name or update your address online, but you must do so before 8pm Thursday 18 April 2019.

More information about enrolling to vote can be found on the AEC website.

By enrolling to vote you can have your say as part of our democracy.
