FAQs

Q: A:	Are there other locations across the UK that I can vote at? The Australian High Commission in London is the only UK location providing in person voting services. If you are unable to make it to London, we recommend you apply online for a postal vote at www.aec.gov.au.

Q: A:	Will voting be available at the High Commission on 2 July? Pre-poll voting will not be available on Saturday 2 July 2016 due to the time difference between London and the closing of polls at 18:00 Australian Western Standard Time (AWST).
