In Australia, to be eligible to vote in federal elections, you must be:

    At least 18 years old
    An Australian citizen, or a British subject who was on the electoral roll on 25 January 1984
    Enrolled to vote

If you meet these criteria, you are entitled to cast a vote in both the House of Representatives (lower house) and the Senate (upper house) during federal elections.

Australians living overseas are also eligible to vote, but they must have enrolled before leaving Australia. If you are living overseas temporarily, you can apply for a postal vote, which allows you to cast your vote from overseas. However, if you are living overseas permanently, you can only vote for the Senate, not the House of Representatives.
