Voting in the 2026 Victorian state election 

On Saturday 28 November, Victorians will vote to elect the next Victorian Parliament. 

If you are a Victorian voter overseas on the day of the election, you can still have your say by pre-poll voting at an overseas voting centre or by postal vote.   

 

In-Person Voting 

You will be able to vote in person at the Australian Embassy in Madrid prior to the date of the election. 

Pre-poll voting dates: 18–26 November (inclusive) 
Location: Australian Embassy in Madrid. Torre Emperador, Paseo de la Castellana 259D, Madrid. 
Opening hours: Monday to Friday, 09:00 am – 04:00 pm 

The Embassy will not be open for voting on Saturday 28 November. 

 

Postal Voting 

Alternatively, overseas voters can vote by post. 

You can apply for a postal vote on the Victorian Electoral Commission website. You can request to receive your ballot pack by email.  

Postal voters can mail their completed postal vote to the Australian Embassy Madrid  (Embajada de Australia, Paseo de la Castellana 259D, Planta 24, 28046 Madrid) or drop it off in person during pre-poll voting hours. Your vote must be received by the Embassy by 04:00 pm on Thursday 26 November. 

If you choose to use any other postal or courier service, including returning your vote by post to the Australian Embassy, the associated costs will be your responsibility.
