2013 Election Tips
Election Tip #1
… when you go to your local polling station, ask the volunteers if you’re allowed to have two ballots instead of one, just in case you make a mistake.
Election Tip #2
… when you fill out your ballot, be sure to number the candidates from least favourite to most favourite… this will ensure that your preferred candidate gets the highest number.
Election Tip #3
… after you’ve voted, don’t forget to take your souvenir voting booth with you… excellent as a makeshift bar or a children’s rocket ship.
Election Tip #4
… the candidates and their volunteer helpers need your support and love. After you’ve cast your ballot, give each one of them a big kiss on the lips and let them know that you voted for them and that you’d do it again.
Election Tip #5
… ensure your vote goes to someone who can best represent your concerns… draw an extra box at the end of the ballot, put you name next to it and write the number 1 in that box.
Election Tip #6
… your senate ballot can be used for practical purposes, e.g. use it as gift-wrapping for that cheesecake you’ve kindly donated to the vote counters.
Election Tip #7
… be kind to the voters who don’t want to be there… let them go in front you, explaining to them that you’ve already voted once already and can wait for your second turn.
Election Tip #8
… if you only agree with some of the policies of a candidate, give them a fractional vote.
Election Tip #9
… take a pair of scissors with you when voting, in case you need to split your vote.
Election Tip #10
… if you believe in a fair go for all Australians, vote 1 for each candidate.
