Guide

You’ve just turned 18. You’ve finished school, maybe got your driver licence, are now allowed to have a drink or two (although not while driving on your L or P plates!), and can even get married, if you want! Becoming an adult comes with a lot of exciting freedoms and responsibilities. Voting falls into both categories and, just like everything else about becoming an adult, voting can feel overwhelming. This page will help you feel more at ease and informed as you prepare to cast your first ballot paper.
