Didn't vote?
After an election, records are checked. If it appears you have not voted you may receive an apparent failure to vote notice.
Apparent failure to vote notice
An apparent failure to vote notice provides the opportunity to say whether you did or didn’t vote, or why you didn’t vote.
If you receive this notice, you can:
- provide a valid and sufficient reason for not voting
- provide the details of when and where you voted
- pay a fine of one penalty unit at the time of the offence, or half this amount if the fine is paid before the due date.
Infringement notice
If you do not respond to the apparent failure to vote notice, you may receive an infringement notice. This is a fine for not voting.
The penalty for not voting is a $25 fee. You must respond within 28 days of the issue date of the notice.
