YOU CONTROL YOUR VOTE
No one can choose your preferences, except for you! A HTV (How To Vote) card is a recommendation only! To vote for me and gain a true local voice for Hornsby, you will need to put a 1 in the box next to my name. If is optional to number the rest of the boxes but I recommend numbering more to ensure your vote doesn’t exhaust. You can choose the order of the next boxes, numbering from 2-8. (If you vote 7 or more, I recommend you put a stroke in your 7 so that the vote counters don’t confuse your 1 and 7.)
Key Things to Remember:
Polling officials at the polling place are available to assist voters in completing their ballot papers. If you make a mistake on a ballot paper you may return it to the polling official who issued it and receive a fresh one.
A Legislative Assembly (Lower House) ballot paper is informal if:
- it is blank or unmarked,
- ticks or crosses have been used,
- it has writing on it which identifies the voter,
- a number is repeated,
- the voter’s intention is not clear, or
- it has not received the official mark of the presiding officer and is not considered authentic.
