DON'T FORGET TO VOTE LATER TODAY (Australian) FOLKS!
<...if you haven't already ofc!>

Just doing my last-asf-minute research for that right now (...this month WELL and truly got away from me something hardcore)

COPY-PASTED METHOD for researching from last Election-prep-time:

———

"Doing a bunch research & Filling out a preference listing for Voting stuffs tonight towards voting early in the next few days

— I go about this myself by looking into policies and what parties and candidates stand for/against and marking: however many ✔️'s for things I agree with/are positive, ❌'s for negatives, ✅ if a party supports the implementation of an ICAC ('Independent Commission Against Corruption'), ➖'s for anything I'm neutral on and 〰️'s for anything softly positive, (but not strongly positive)

The latter two symbols can be assigned anywhere they might be a appropriate, and help sort out which of the parties go above or below one another in their respective:
-Top/best ones
-Middle/neutral options
-Bottom/worst choices


It's a bit of effort; but honestly it's WORTH MAKING A PROPER VOTE and not letting corruption just slide rampant because 'it was too much effort' once every 3 years

— Help yourself and others shape a better governing body that ideally HELPS support it's citizens interests better 💕
