2023 NSW State election

The 2023 NSW State election will take place on 25 March. If you’re in Vietnam, you can still take part by applying online to vote by post. Postal vote applications close 6pm, 20 March - apply as soon as possible to ensure the ballot reaches you in time for you to vote by election day.

In-person voting or drop off for your postal vote would not be available in Vietnam. The NSW Electoral Commission website https://elections.nsw.gov.au/voters/voting-options/interstate-or-overseas list the overseas locations for the drop off for postal votes.
