The Australian Electoral Commission is a government agency in Australia that traces its origins to 1984, when it followed the former Australian Electoral Office. It administers federal elections, by-elections, referendums, and certain industrial and commercial ballots, while between events it maintains the electoral roll and redraws electoral boundaries. The AEC also runs electoral education and awareness programs and oversees the disclosure of financial dealings involving political parties and others connected to the electoral process. A central ongoing task is planning the next election, described as the largest peacetime logistical exercise conducted in Australia. Headquartered in Canberra, Australian Capital Territory, the organization serves voters and electoral participants and was recognised in 2023 as the top agency for trust and satisfaction in the Australian Public Service Commission's survey.
