More Brits overseas can now register to vote

If you’re overseas and want to participate in a federal election or referendum, you need to ensure you’re enrolled to vote.

From 16 January 2024, British citizens living permanently in Australia can now register to vote in the UK no matter how long ago they left or were last registered to vote in the UK. More information is available on the UK Electoral Commission’s website here.
