Comment on MP berates informal voters after dud ballot spike in NSW seat
Salvo@aussie.zone 5 days agoThere are two reasons why people place Informal Votes;
- Ignorance (they don’t know how our great Australian Preferential Ballot works)
- No confidence (they do not feel that any candidate can represent their interests.
Given the fact that voters had 13 different candidates to choose from, and still voted informally, I think that it may be the first reason. I think that Old Mate now has a mandate to invest in education for his constituents so they now how our Australian Preferential Ballot works for next time.
