Voting day for the 2022 Federal Election will be Saturday, May 21. Early voting for eligible people will begin on Monday, May 9. About the division of Hunter.

Voters in each state and territory elect Senators to represent them in the Senate, known as the upper house. Australia is divided into areas called electoral divisions. While similar to voting above the line, when voting below the line you place a number next to the box of the individual candidates. If you choose to vote above the line, you need to number at least six boxes in order of your preference of party or group. Who you vote for is your decision. Fold your ballot papers and place them in the ballot boxes. Voting officials are easy to spot on election day. Legislation was passed in early 2022 to allow for COVID-affected voters to cast a telephone vote. Visit aec.gov.au/where to check the details for each centre. Polling places are usually located at local schools, churches and community halls, or public buildings. The Hunter electorate covers an area of 10,640 square kilometres with the current electoral boundary first put in place for the 2016 election. Advertisement
