AEC mobile voting
AEC mobile polling teams visit many voters 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. Mobile polling is carried out around Australia during the election period.
Telephone voting
If you are blind or have low vision, you can cast your vote through the AEC’s telephone voting service.
Voters living with disability may also be eligible to cast their vote by post, or can vote with assistance at a polling place.
To vote early the AEC have set out eligibility requirements. These include being more than 8km away from a polling place, an illness, religious beliefs or travelling on election day.
