In Australia, it is compulsory to vote in Federal elections and State elections. It is also compulsory to vote in a referendum to change the Constitution. A plebiscite (a non-binding vote on a specific question) will be compulsory if the Parliament decides to make it compulsory.
Failure to vote when it is compulsory to do so without a reasonable excuse is an offence and may result in a fine.
It is not compulsory to vote in local government (council) elections or in South Australian First Nations Voice to Parliament elections.
We embrace diversity and welcome all people, irrespective of culture, faith, sexual orientation and gender identity.
