A total of 59 Early Voting Centres have been established across South Australia with at least one early voting centre in every one of the 47 electoral districts.
‘Early voting provides a convenient and accessible option for electors to cast their vote for the 2026 South Australian State Election’ - Electoral Commissioner, Mick Sherry
In the first 3 hours of voting today, over 21,000 votes have been issued across South Australia.
Recent changes to legislation now enable any elector to vote early before polling day. To cater for an expected increase in electors voting early, additional early voting centres have been established, earlier opening times and additional polling officials employed.
Early voting is available from Saturday 14 March to Friday 20 March 2026 (closed Sunday 15 March). Early Voting Centres will open at 8am and close at 6pm with extended hours on Thursday 19 March, remaining open until 8pm.
Early voting centres will also operate in each state and territory capital city, as well as selected overseas locations (Hong Kong, London and Wellington).
Telephone Assisted Voting will also be available during the early voting period for electors who are blind, low vision, or who have a motor impairment. Eligible electors can call 1300 951 579 to vote.
Early voting locations can be found on the Electoral Commission website, www.ecsa.sa.gov.au and on the back of the EasyVote cards sent to electors.
Electors can also vote on polling day on Saturday 21 March at any one of over 600 polling booths established across South Australia.
Voting in the 2026 South Australian State Election is compulsory for enrolled electors.
