To prepare my state election voting plan, I will need to consider

My plan to vote has been completed by [ Me ] [ Family Member ] [ Carer ] [ Friend ]  

My state-election-voting-day is [  insert date  ]  (between 14 March and 21 March)

My electoral district → Check my district 

My polling places → Check where I am going to vote  

Who I am going to vote for

I can learn about candidates by reading the newspaper, watching trusted news sources on TV or looking at the candidate's website. How to Vote cards can be accepted at the polling location, however you are under no obligation to accept them.

Who is my support person  

I can choose to have support from someone I trust when I vote. This can be the person who helped me fill in this form or someone else.  

My voting support person is [ insert name ]

What happens when I get to the polling location

If I need a polling official to come out to me in my car for me to cast my vote, this can be arranged on my arrival.

When I vote, my name is marked off the roll electronically. This confirms that I have voted. If I received my easy vote card in the mail, this will be helpful to show at this stage as it contains a unique QR code with my details.

I will be asked 3 questions by a polling official. I will need to answer these before I can receive my ballot papers to vote: 

  1. What is your full name? 
  2. What is your address?
  3. Have you voted before in this election?
    • *you may be asked other questions to assist polling officials

To help answer these questions I can write my answers down in a safe place and bring it with me. This information is private and I decide who I share this with. 

If I would like to also vote in the South Australian First Nations Vote to Parliament, I need to make the polling official aware when I arrive. I will be given an extra ballot paper to cast my vote in this election.

Other ways I can vote

If I can’t get to a polling location, I might be eligible to apply for a postal vote, or I will use Telephone Assisted Voting.

If I am in hospital, I can still vote.

Phone numbers I can call
