How to register and vote by phone

Voting by phone involves 2 separate steps. 

  • Step 1: register to vote
    1. Call us on 135 723 during opening hours
    2. Tell us your name and address so we can check your enrolment.
    3. Declare you are eligible for telephone-assisted voting, for example, 'I'm eligible to vote by phone'.
    4. Tell us your phone number or email address. We will send you a unique registration ID.
    5. Pick a 4-digit PIN. Keep this PIN safe - you need it to complete step 2.
    6. We'll email or call you back with your unique registration ID. Keep this unique ID safe - you won't be able to vote by phone without it.
  • Step 2: voting
    1. Call us on 135 723 after you've received your unique registration ID.
    2. Do not tell us who you are – just tell us your unique registration ID and 4-digit PIN.
    3. An election official will read out the candidates as they appear on the 2 ballot papers. Tell the official your voting preferences.
    4. A second election official will listen to the conversation to make sure your vote is being written on the ballot paper exactly how you wanted.
    5. Once both ballot paper are filled in, the second election official will read them back to you to check. Then they'll put your ballot paper in the sealed ballot box.

    • Your vote is secret

    Your identity is not linked to your vote. One election official will register you to vote and a different election official will take your vote.

    The election official who takes your vote cannot see your name or address.

    You are identified by your unique registration number and PIN.

    While your vote is being taken, a second election official will listen to the call. This is to make sure your vote is written on each ballot paper based on your directions.

    Scrutineers who represent the candidates can observe how election officials carry out this duty, but they cannot listen to the conversation.

    Before you vote

    Before you call us, research the candidates for your district and region and decide who you want to vote for.

    We'll publish the final list of candidates for each electorate on this website after midday on Monday 9 November.

    Election officials cannot give you advice about who to vote for. They also cannot give you information about the candidates.

    We'll publish registered how-to-vote cards on this website from Tuesday 10 November
