Elections
Australian Federal Election - 14 September 2013
The Australian federal election will be held on Saturday 14 September 2013.
Early (in-person) voting will be offered at the Embassy from Monday 2 September until Friday 13 September 2013. Election arrangements including voting times will be published on this page closer to the election.
Further information relating to being overseas at election time and how to vote while overseas is available on the Australian Electoral Commission’s (AEC) website at
For the 2013 elections the Australian Electoral Commission has implemented an online postal vote application (OPVA) service, including for people overseas. This is the AEC’s preferred method of receiving postal voting applications. However, the AEC has asked if voters could wait until late July/early August before applying for a postal vote as ballot materials will not be available until after late August. Postal ballot material will be processed in Australia (not via the Embassy) and sent to the applicant’s overseas mailing address after 26 August 2013.
Australians wanting to vote in the Federal Election should go online to check their enrolment details are correct before Monday 19 August 2013.
