Federal Election 2022 - Barriers to Voting Register

Your vote counts.

The right to vote is the most fundamental part of our democracy. Recent reports have exposed potential barriers to voting such as lengthy phone hold times and the closure of polling booths in regional and remote areas due to staff shortages. This may affect several areas with high Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations.

The Human Rights Law Centre is recording barriers to voting in the 2022 federal election. We will use this information to advocate for change for future elections to ensure everyone can cast their vote. We will analyse whether relevant laws have been complied with and explore potential legal action to protect voting rights where problems are identified.
