Voter Notes

Things Electoral - a summary Anyway, here are answers to the questions you did not want to ask: This is not about which boxes you mark 1, 2, 3 etc., it is about marking boxes and being counted. The business of an electoral official is NEVER to tell you what to vote. The official’s business is to ensure you can vote. (I am no longer an official of any kind but I keep to that idea in my posts.)

At the moment the Australian Senate has extra prominence. The Government (based always in the House of Representatives) wants its Bill passed in the week ahead. That can only happen with support of sufficient Senators. (The Government do not have sufficient of their own party to pass the legislation.)
