Postal vote applications close at 6pm. Any voter who tests positive to COVID after 6pm Tuesday is eligible to access a telephone voting solution if they haven't already voted.
Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said once postal vote applications close Wednesday evening the Australian Electoral Commission will have information available on the website for people who need to, and are eligible to, register for telephone voting.
"There will be a telephone voting solution available but that won't apply for people who tested positive prior to 6pm last night - it has limited eligibility criteria," Mr Rogers said.
