Enrol to vote
2024 local council elections
Local council elections will be held in Victoria by post this October for all councils except Moira Shire Council.
The roll closed at 4 pm on Wednesday 7 August.
If you have changed address, you must still update your details for future elections. However, you will need to vote for your old address at this election or risk a fine.
Who can enrol?
You must enrol to vote if you:
- are an Australian citizen
- are 18 or older
and - have lived in Victoria for longer than a month.
You must enrol within 21 days of becoming eligible to vote in Victoria.
If you’re 17, you can fill out an enrolment form now. On your 18th birthday, we’ll automatically enrol you and you’ll be ready to vote.
If you’ve been eligible to enrol but haven’t yet, you will not be fined for not voting in past elections.
British subjects who were on an Australian electoral roll between 26 October 1983 and 26 January 1984 must also enrol and vote.
