Did you know that you can still vote if you’re currently without a home, frequently travelling around Queensland or a seasonal worker?

Even when you don’t have a fixed address, you get to have a say on things that matter to you. Even between major state, local or federal elections, by-elections often occur to choose a new state or federal member of Parliament or a new local councillor.

If you’re 18 or over and an Australian citizen, enrol today to make sure you’re ready when a by-election comes up.
