Special enrolment options

Special enrolment categories are available for people with specific needs.

For instance:

• No fixed address: You don’t have a permanent home address
• Long term travellers within Australia: You will return to your enrolled address
• Overseas electors: You are an Australian citizen living, working, or travelling overseas
• Special postal voters: It is difficult for you to attend a polling booth due to distance or personal circumstances
• Prisoners: You are on remand and not yet sentenced to a term of imprisonment, or in periodic detention, or serving a term of less than three years in imprisonment you must still vote
• Silent electors: You think that having your address shown on the roll could endanger you or your family.

Enrolment forms and detailed information about the special enrolment options are available on the Australian Electoral Commission website.
