Italians resident in Australia and enrolled in AIRE and on their comune's electoral list vote by post in national elections, constitutional and abrogative referendums, and Com.It.Es. elections.
Where to apply in Australia
Described on the Perth consulate page for Western Australia; the same postal system applies to Italians registered at each Australian post. Other posts' pages were not read.
Other Italian posts in Australia (Embassy in Canberra, Consulate-General Melbourne, Consulates in Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth) run their own pages for their own districts; those were not read in this research, so details here describe the Sydney procedure and may differ elsewhere.
Contact details for every office are on the page of the embassy and consulates of Italy.
