Description of extension of suffrage to 18-year-olds
The introduction states that "Today, the right to vote... is enjoyed by all citizens of Australia over the age of 18 years", but there is no mention of this age in the rest of the article.Rscragun (talk) 02:17, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
 * There has been some improvement on this. I am considering changing the date when NSW changed its voting age to 18 from 1970 to 1973 to reflect that the law commenced on 21 March 1973 despite being passed in 1970 and cite the original law (Parliamentary Electorates and Elections (Amendment) Act 1970) or the Gazette announcing its commencement date (GG No 36 of 21.3.1973, p 883).Rscragun (talk) 21:24, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Compulsory voting
I came to this article hoping to find whether voting in the NT (Reps only — it was "Silent Sam" Calder when I arrived) was compulsory for Aborigines as it was for us "blow-ins". An Aboriginal co-worker in Darwin once said it was voluntary, but I doubted him at the time and still do. Doug butler (talk) 23:15, 1 July 2020 (UTC)
