Government and the LawElections

Who is responsible for enrolling to vote in Australian federal elections?

  1. Employers enrol their workers
  2. State governments enrol citizens
  3. The Australian Electoral Commission enrolls all citizens automatically
  4. Each individual citizen is responsible for enrolling

Why this is the correct answer

Each individual Australian citizen is personally responsible for enrolling to vote with the Australian Electoral Commission. Enrolment is not done automatically for most people, and citizens must ensure their details are up to date before an election is called.
