If you mean UK PMs - then they could change at any time without any public voting. PMs are not voted for by the public - they are simply appointed/voted for by the majority party in parliament who have formed the government. General elections which vote in the ruling party must be held at least every 5 years but in special cases (small majorities, hung parliaments etc) they may be held within a few months of each other. In summary, the PM is generally the leader of the party in power and can be voted out at any time by his/her own party.

In Australia No one knows who you have voted for, because voting is done by secret ballot. and your privacy while voting is enforced by law. Any one that chooses can vote for whoever the want to in Australia. Australians don't vote for a prime minister, they vote for a representative to represent their area in the lower house and for a representative to sit in the senate to safe guard the interest of their state. the prime minister is voted into the position by the representatives of the lower house. So if after an election there are not enough votes in the lover house to reinstall the prime minister then a new prime minister is voted for. this is usually done with the backing of the victorious political party.
Why does everyone have to vote for a new prime minister?
Everyone does NOT have to vote. The individual has the choice, vote or don't vote. Besides, you don't vote for a Prime Minister. You vote for a political party. The party of your choice. The leader of the party which wins (the one which gets most votes) the election will become Prime Minister. If you didn't give the population the choice every few years to keep or dismiss the party in power then what you would have would be a dictatorship or a 1 party state, which amounts to the same thing. It's called democracy.
