Not having a home doesn’t take away your right to vote.
If you’re an Australian citizen aged 18 or older and you’re experiencing homelessness or don’t have safe and secure housing, you can enrol using the ‘no fixed address’ form.
Here’s what you need to know:
✔️ No current home address? That’s OK. You can still enrol.
✔️ You don’t need ID. Someone enrolled to vote in federal elections just needs to confirm they know you.
✔️ Once enrolled with no fixed address, you won’t be fined if you don’t vote.
✔️ Your enrolment address can be where you last lived for at least a month, where a family member is enrolled or where you were born.
✔️ Election mail goes to the address you put on the form. This can be a support service.
Enrolment closes at 8 pm on Tuesday 3 November. You can enrol online here: https://www.aec.gov.au/Enrolling_to_vote/Special_Category/no-fixed-address-enrol.htm
We also have paper forms at Ozanam House, and people to help you fill them in.
And if you know someone this applies to, please share this with them.
