Electoral Commission of South Australia

The Electoral Commission South Australia (ECSA) have begun issuing notices to electors who are not recorded as having voted in the State Election.

If you’re identified as a non-voter, you may receive up to three notices under the Electoral Act 1985 and the Expiation of Offences Act 1996. If the matter isn’t resolved, it may be referred to the Fines Enforcement and Recovery Unit.

If you received a notice, here’s what to do:
✅ If you did vote – Follow the instructions to provide details
✅ If you couldn’t vote – Submit a valid reason
📩 You must respond using the official notice (reply-paid envelope or online).

📬 If you don’t respond, further notices may be issued and the matter could be referred for enforcement.

ECSA may contact identified non-voters with up to three notices to confirm if there was a valid reason.

This week we’re in the South East of SA with the Parliament of South Australia Education team.

We’re visiting primary and high schools in Lameroo, Bordertown, Naracoorte and Millicent, with around 500 students taking part in the program across the week.

Connecting with regional schools is an important way to give young South Australians the opportunity to learn about the political process, ask questions, and understand the impact of their voice.

In the mock election that students get to participate in, 'Burger and Chips' has so far been the most popular #1 choice.

Last Friday, the we joined the History Trust of South Australia and Parliament of South Australia for 'Day of Democracy', a professional learning opportunity designed to support educators in teaching civics and citizenship.

Through interactive activities, discussions and practical resources, participants explored Australia’s democratic system, active citizenship and the electoral process, gaining valuable tools to take back to their classrooms.

For our Education Officer Paula, a key highlight was seeing educators engage with the content and one another throughout the day.

“It was fantastic to help build confidence in educators and their understanding of the electoral system. It was great to see the collaboration of attendees as they engaged in all of the activities throughout the program.”

By supporting educators, we can help build the knowledge, confidence and civic understanding of future generations of South Australians.

Thank you to our event partners and everyone who attended for making the day such a success.
