if you're enrolled you should be able to postal vote or absentee vote or something, with the vote going to your old electorate, surely? *shrug* not that i'm an expert on these things.
I don't remember that part! And also, I have a sneaking suspicion that I may not be eligible :( I sent off my forms ages ago, and then got a letter back saying I wasn't enrolled/eligible - I assumed that it was because I'd tried to enrol before they announced the election, but now, reading back through some documents, I realise I didn't vote in the last federal election when I was in Belgium, and this very likely makes me ineligible to vote in this one despite having lived in Australia for a year since then. Argh! Why can't they make this stuff simple??
