Note this address will be active from 27 September 1999. There will be a direct feed to the web site from the AEC Referendum Night Results System and a post referendum update approximately every hour. To be eligible to enrol a person must be an Australian citizen, aged 18 years or over. British subjects who were on the Commonwealth Electoral Roll immediately before 26 January 1984 maintain their enrolment and voting entitlements. People who are 17 may provisionally enrol and will be able to vote if their 18th birthday falls on or before polling day.
Special enrolment is available for certain electors.
These returns must be lodged with the AEC no later than Monday 3 January 2000. This is called an ordinary vote. Not all voters will be able to attend their local polling place on polling day. To enable every eligible voter to cast a vote the AEC will provide a number of alternative arrangements. Absent voting Electors out of their enrolled Division but still within their home State or Territory on polling day will be able to cast an absent vote.
