The Australian federal election will be held on July 2.

Australians in Thailand are encouraged to take advantage of early in-person voting to avoid possible lengthy waiting times on election day itself, the notice urged.

In-person voting will also be offered at the embassy on election day, Saturday July 2, from 9am to 5pm.

“Please bring your Australian passport when you attend the Embassy to vote,” the embassy noted.

“If you are unable to vote in person and wish to apply for a postal vote, you will need to access the online postal vote application (click here) as this is the AEC’s preferred method of receiving postal votes,” added the notice.

“Alternatively, you may notify the AEC that you are overseas by using the following link to the AEC website (click here). Further information about voting in the election can also be found on the Smartraveller website (click here).
