2026 Victorian state election preparations

Overview

Preparations for the 2026 Victorian state election, scheduled for November 28, have focused on voter enrollment and accessibility. Initial guidelines established that eligible voters must be Australian citizens aged 18 or older and enrolled by November 3 to participate in the election for the 61st Parliament of Victoria.

Following a report from the Parliament of Victoria’s Electoral Matters Committee, the Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) announced expanded accessibility measures. These include the introduction of low-sensory voting in all 88 districts, telephone-assisted voting, and the deployment of over 400 mobile voting services to locations such as hospitals, prisons, and aged-care facilities. To support diverse needs, the VEC is providing information in 29 languages and ensuring every district has at least one fully accessible voting centre.
