Once you're 18, you can vote

Before you can vote in a federal, state, or local government election you need to enrol to vote. You can enrol to vote when you are 16 years of age or older, though you can’t vote until you are 18 years of age. It is important to note that laws passed by the Australian Parliament allow the Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) to directly enroll or update your address on the electoral roll based on information from other government agencies (example Medicare, Centrelink). This does not always happen automatically. It is still your responsibility to enroll and to keep your enrolment details up-to-date.
