Do disabled electors have to be on the electoral roll?
All Australian citizens over the age of 18 are required to enrol and vote under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, however anyone who is incapable of understanding the nature and significance of enrolment and voting by reason of being of unsound mind can request to be removed from the roll. (Your request must be certified by a medical practitioner and be accompanied with a completed ‘claim that an elector should not be on the electoral roll’ form. This form is not available on our internet site, however we can post or email one out to you.
