The following evidence of vote fraud,pertaining to select elections over the last two decades, shows that fraudulent practices have been utilised to alter the result of State and Federal elections but until these practices are actively prevented they will continue.
If you are an Australian citizen and at least 18 years old, you must enrol.
Procedure: From 1984 to 2010 electoral enrolment was by filling out a green form, have it witnessed by an eligible-to-vote person to whom you can prove your identity (e.g. The Postmaster with your drivers licence), send it to the Australian Electoral Commission office. They send an acknowledgement and you are on the roll. From 2010 to 2013 this changed to a purple form.
Since then you must apply to the AEC ‘s Divisional or Head Office for the required form, now available via the internet or, for those without a computer or the ability to use one, by calling the AEC office.

The system had been wide open to using false names with false driver’s licences, medicare cards, etc., fake names at real addresses, real names at fake addresses, fake names at fake addresses,real but illegal names (dead voters, hardly citizens). You could enrol your dog. He doesn't vote but you vote for him.
There are around 20 other forms of manipulation - some are moving voters’ names between rolls and electorates so there seems to be consistency with numbers in previous elections while preparing to shift voting papers between counts, e.g. at scrutineering adding 20 true votes for your candidate to the top of a pile of votes for the opposition candidate and seeing that pile included in your candidate’s pile of votes. Disposing of ballot papers, altering tally sheets when counting, discreetly marking legal votes with a piece of pencil lead under the finger nail to render it “informal”.
While Electoral officials are required to be and most are impartial, some have allowed their political inclinations to affect their responsibility so that some reports to Polling Place managers of fraud are “lost” or never sent in to the Head Office or “buried” before action takes place.
The electoral laws have been further relaxed since the 1984 Act. In 1993 pre-poll voting, previously hardly existent, was encouraged giving fraudsters an additional avenue to vote with minimum detection. The rules restraining voters to the rules* were seldom applied or enforced by officials at these pre-poll voting booths.
* Pre-poll voting was only allowed if the voter signed a register stating that the voter was applying for a pre-poll vote because it was not possible to be present in that voter’s electorate on election day. In early August 2013 the AEC issued advice that it was no longer necessary to register and the notice of rules was no longer available.
