As a heads up, I'd like to remind people if you receive a postal vote application form from a local member or political party, keep in mind it's a technique used to collect your information. Information such as your secret security question and answer is included in the form and that should be a concern if you're not aware of who is seeing or collecting the information. The envelope provided is not for the address of the AEC (Australian Electoral Commission).
Yes it is a postal vote application form, but what I've read in the media is the envelope provided means it doesn't go direct to the Electoral Commission. It goes somewhere else for the information to first be collected by someone other than Electoral Commission and the form is then forwarded on to the Electoral Commission.
If you really want a postal vote application form you know where it has come from, you can visit the AEC site and print your own postal vote application form. (http://www.aec.gov.au/election/pva/files/pva-180316.pdf)
If you do wish to use the form provided by your local member or political party, you can also discard the envelope and use your own envelope. The address for where to return your form is on the reverse of the form. The address is currently Australian Electoral Commission, Reply Paid 9867, [Your capital city], where you enter your capital city. No postage is required if you post from within Australia.
