You should ensure your enrolment details are always current. To enrol to vote or change your name or address after 28 days at a new residence, complete an electoral enrolment form for federal, state and local government elections. Forms and prepaid envelopes can be picked up from our office, post offices or an Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) office.

This may be returned by post, fax, email or hand-delivery to an AEC office.

Once processed, the AEC will send you an acknowledgment advice. This provides details of your:

• name as it appears on the roll
• federal electoral division
• state electoral district
• local government area.

If you do not receive your advice within four weeks you should contact the AEC via email to info@aec.gov.au or phone 13 23 26.

Non-resident rolls for local government elections

The electoral enrolment form cannot be used to apply for enrolment on the local government rolls of non-resident owners, occupiers and ratepaying lessees. For details about applying to be on these rolls visit local government enrolment.
