The address of the Consulate-General is 18 Harcourt Road, Admiralty Centre Tower 1, 9th Floor Units 901-2. If you had opted for postal voting, there is no need to be present at the Consulate-General.

If they do so, they may be turned away by election officials. Examples include (but are not limited to):
a. Shirts, clothing, bags, or badges with prints that are identical to or closely resemble a candidate's symbol, or bear words that may be interpreted as showing support for a candidate; and
