More than 17.2 million Australians will be eligible to vote in the upcoming 2022 federal election, after a final rush to meet the deadline.

Electoral Commissioner Tom Rogers said that following yesterday's deadline ,more than 96 per cent of eligible Australians are on the list.

"Yesterday was the biggest single day of enrolment in Australian history with 214,000 enrolment applications received – an unmitigated success for the election and Australian democracy," Mr Rogers said.

"We can't confirm a final figure just yet but with more than 700,000 enrolment applications received this week, the remarkable state of the roll in Australia is something that is simply not seen in most places around the world," Mr Rogers said.

"Quite frankly it is a modern democratic miracle."
