How to vote
United For You.
Ballots arrive by mail from 30 April.
Four simple steps is all it takes.
Check your mailbox
Your ballot pack arrives by mail from 30 April. Look out for the official AEC election envelope. It contains your ballot paper and a Declaration envelope. Don't bin it.
Mark an X above the line for United For You
Put a single X in the box above the thick black line next to United For You. You do not need to number every box below the line. If there is no United For You box, follow the instructions on your local How to Vote card.
Don't number below the line. One X above the line counts fully.
Put your ballot in the Declaration envelope and sign it
Place your completed ballot paper inside the Declaration envelope. Sign the envelope where indicated. Your vote cannot be counted without your signature.
Seal and post it back
Seal the Declaration envelope and place it in the return reply envelope provided. Drop it in any Australia Post box. No stamp needed. Must be posted by 22 May. Each envelope must be posted separately.
Post it early. Don't leave it until the last day. Allow a few days for delivery before 22 May.
