For those who are waiting to choose their representatives on May 3, polling booths will be open between 8am and 6pm local time.

Ahead of the big day, here is everything you need to know about where you can vote.

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has a handy tool on its website to help voters find their electorate.

You will need to type in your locality, suburb or postcode to find your electorate.

In some cases, a community may be in more than one federal electorate.

If this is the case, you can contact the AEC to confirm which federal electorate you live in.

Where do I vote on election day?

Polling places across Australia are usually located in local schools, church halls and public buildings.

Search the table below to find out your nearest polling centre.

It is too late to apply for a postal vote and you cannot cast your vote online.

Can I vote outside my electorate?

You can vote at any polling place in your home state or territory.

Polling places open at 8am and close at 6pm sharp.

If you are in another state or territory and you haven’t voted early, you will need to vote at an interstate voting centre.

A list of interstate polling places can be found on the AEC website.
If you’re overseas, the AEC also has a list of locations on its website.

What happens if I don’t vote?

It is compulsory for all Australians over the age of 18 to enrol and vote in the federal election.

Failure to do so may lead to a $20 administrative penalty.

If you don’t vote, you will receive a letter from the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) with instructions on how to pay the $20 penalty.
