Voting overseas - Federal Election

Eligible Australians living in or visiting Brazil will be able to vote in the federal election. To be eligible to vote, you must be enrolled. Please ensure that your enrolment details are up to date at the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) website. If you are overseas and are unable to vote in-person, you can apply for a postal vote.

Further details on how to vote in Brazil will be available once a date for the federal election is announced. Please check this page and the Embassy’s social media for updates.

Additional information on overseas voting is available from the AEC website and Smartraveller.

Australia's biosecurity and border controls

The Australian government controls the movement of people and goods across our border. This is to protect Australia\'s environment, economy, health and wellbeing, and security.

To avoid issues, penalties and fines, and to reduce the risk of experiencing delays when you travel to Australia, consider:

• any COVID-19 requirements you may have to meet
• the declarations you need to complete
• the documents you need to pass through Australian immigration
• any biosecurity restrictions and requirements
• any import requirements.
