How to Vote Responsibly

Not a day goes by without someone asking me questions about how our voting system works. Questions about how many boxes need to be numbered or where do preferences go, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

With a federal election likely just days away, I thought now was the perfect time to try and clear this up once and for all.

So I called in some help from Australian television and radio icon John Burgess and teamed him up with the Please Explain crew in an effort to answer every question you might have about how voting works in Australia.

Your vote is your voice and I want to make sure it is heard.

Feel free to show this helpful guide to anyone you know who has questions about voting and let's make sure this election everyone's vote is counted and correct.
