Voting by Australians Resident in the UK

The best-known example of this impacting Australians overseas is
Britain. There are probably between 200,000 and 300,000 Australians in
the UK at any point in time. Under the Representation of the People Act
2000, any citizen of the Commonwealth legally resident in the UK, 18
years of age or over, can vote in British elections. For further
information on voting in the UK, consult the website of the Department
of Transport, Local Government and Regions.


Voting by Certain British Subjects Resident in Australia

Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 a person who has attained 18
years of age and is not an Australian citizen may still be able to vote
under Section 93(1). The requirements are that the person would, if the
relevant citizenship law had continued in force, be a British subject
within the meaning of that relevant citizenship law. Their name must
also have been on the Electoral Roll immediately before 26 January
1984.


Voting by Permament Residents in New Zealand

If you are not a New Zealand citizen, but a permanent resident of New
Zealand, you qualify to enrol to vote if you are 18 or over, and have
lived in New Zealand for one year or more without leaving the country.
In fact, you must enrol to vote if you are qualified to vote, i.e.
voting is compulsory. For more information see the Elections New
Zealand website.
