Presidential elections will be held in Austria on 24 April. Incumbent president Heinz Fischer has served for 12 years and is not eligible to be elected for a third successive term. 600,000 Austrians around the globe are eligible to vote as well, if they have registered in Austria beforehand in order to be part of the postal vote.


Johannes Aigner, First Secretary of the Austrian Embassy in Canberra, explains how to do it.
