Stupid question from an American: how do you do the whole mandatory voting thing without an address?

[-] TrippaSnippa@aussie.zone 8 points 11 months ago

In federal elections it is not compulsory to vote if you have no fixed address (and in most state elections, but WA and SA are the exceptions). You can still enrol and vote though. There are a few rules to determine which state and electorate you are eligible to vote in. Australian Electoral Commission info page
