Show Notes
The Australian Electoral Commission is launching a voter education campaign ahead of the Farrer byelection, aiming to combat misinformation and confusion surrounding the preferential voting system. The campaign includes clear instructions on ballots, booth handouts, posters, and multilingual guides, as well as ads on radio, social media, and direct messages. The campaign is particularly important due to a recent increase in invalid ballots and calls to change how preferences flow. The system is backed by experts, but informal rates remain higher in rural areas and among new migrants.
