Enrolment and Updates


An online enrolment application has been developed to ensure a streamlined enrolment process and is hosted by the Australian Electoral Commission. This application will help reduce paperwork (environmentally sustainable practice) and speed the enrolment process for you.

Updating your enrolment

If you are only updating your details (e.g you've moved house or changed postal address) and can provide your driver licence number, your enrolment will be updated electronically through the 'Update my details' button below. No paperwork required! A letter confirming your updated details will be sent to you within 21 days.

Update my details

Enrolling for the first time, changing your name or don't have a driver licence

If enrolling for the first time, changing your name or you don't have a driver licence and want to update your enrolment, you will need to complete an enrolment application, PRINT IT OUT, sign it and have it witnessed. Then you can return the form in person, by mail or fax to the AEC. By using the 'Enrol' button below, your information will be data-captured and will be used to electronically update your details when the form is received. A letter confirming your enrolment will be sent to you within 21 days.

If you or someone under your care is eligible to enrol to vote in Victoria but cannot sign the form due to physical incapacity, this enrolment form can be signed by another enrolled person.
If you are generally unable to get to a voting centre on election days, you may be eligible to become a general postal voter.
If you believe that you or any member of your family would be endangered by having your address appear on an electoral roll, you can apply to become a silent elector.
If you are already enrolled to vote in Victoria and are moving overseas for six years or less, you can use this form to register as an overseas elector.
Use this form if you are overseas indefinitely or permanently and do not wish to vote, or if you are temporarily absent from Australia and may not be able to vote.

Who can witness my form?Top

Some VEC forms need to be witnessed before we can accept them. Specific instructions as to who can be a witness are included on each form.

In most cases, anyone can be a witness if they:

  • are already on the Victorian electoral roll; and
  • have actually seen the applicant sign (or make a mark) on the form.
