Federal elections from Australia: This is how German citizens can cast their votes

The federal election on February 23, 2025 presents a logistical challenge for German citizens in Australia. In an interview, Felix Schwarz, the German Consul General in Sydney, explains how a successful postal ballot is organized. He underlines the importance of voting and encourages all eligible voters to take action at an early stage in order to cast their votes in good time.
