Australian Electoral Commission
The Australian Electoral Commission is urging all enrolled Australians who are yet to cast their vote in the 2023 referendum to do so.
Voting in the 2023 referendum is compulsory. There will be more than 7,000 polling places open tomorrow from 8am to 6pm local time. Early voting centres remain open today for what is expected to be the biggest single day of early voting so far.
People who do not cast a vote will not only miss out on their say in the referendum but will also receive a non-voter notice and may have to pay a fine.
Anyone who has applied for, and received, their postal vote must complete it and return it to the AEC as soon as possible. You must have completed your postal vote by 6pm local time on Saturday, but do not wait.
The legislation allows up to 13 days after referendum day for postal votes to be received back to the AEC. Once a postal vote has been completed, voters should put them in the mail as soon as possible.
The AEC acknowledges the Traditional Owners of country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters, culture and community. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging.
