Where you can vote in the Queensland election

Queenslanders head to the polls on Saturday, and face a $133 fine if they don’t vote. Here is where you can vote to avoid that fine.

Queensland goes to the polls on Saturday, and with voting being compulsory you don’t want to forget and cop a fine.

If you don’t vote you will cop a $133 fine.

Luckily, finding a polling booth near you is easy. Voting opens at 8am and closes at 6pm. Here is what you need to do on election day.

Find a polling booth near you

Finding where to vote is easy.

Go to the Electoral Commission Queensland site to find where the closest polling booth is in your electorate.

If you’re not sure what electorate you’re in, simply enter your home address and it will tell you.

Find a polling booth on a map

There is also this helpful map to help you see where the closest polling booth to you is.

There are more 1300 polling booths across the state, the majority offering a democracy sausage.

So there’s really no excuse to get that fine.

Once at a polling booth, head to the issuing officer table where your identity will be confirmed and you will be issued a ballot paper.

Then head to a voting booth to cast your vote in private before finally putting it in one of the ballot boxes.
