The eligibility reasons to postal vote or vote early are not strictly enforced.
You could say youâre travelling on May 3rd (even though you donât have firm plans to do so just yetâŠ) you would be far from the only one making the same claim.
You donât need to provide proof.

When I voted early last time, all they asked was, âAre you eligible to vote early?â
I said yes and then they gave me the papers.

Yeah, just rock up to a pre-poll place and say youâll be travelling and theyâll let you. Itâs more âpreferredâ if you vote on election day, they wonât stop you voting early

I went towards the end of the day and they didnât even ask for a reason.

You can go vote early. I did mine yesterday and have been doing it for the last 3 elections.
Theyâll ask you if you meet the eligibility, just say yes and thatâs it.
If you need a reason just say youâre out of the state at that time.
