Who gets to vote? An inclusive electoral franchise for contemporary Australia: A Parliamentary Library Symposium

The franchise – the right to vote in Australian federal elections – is provided to Australian citizens who are 18 or older (subject to some disqualifiers). And through a quirk of legislative history, some non-citizens can indeed vote in federal elections. But for other non-citizen residents and minors who participate in Australian society and have an interest in the nation’s future, they do not have that right. In addition, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, who were not universally included in the franchise since federation, continue to be underrepresented on electoral rolls and in exercising their franchise.This seminar brings together leading Australian scholars to consider an expansion of the right to vote and the reasons why Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people continue to remain underrepresented. The seminar will be chaired by Dr Jill Sheppard, one of the Canberra Convenors of the Electoral Regulation Research Network and is presented in conjunction with the Parliamentary Library.
