Federal Election May 21

THE SENATE
Senate ballot papers are white in colour and have a huge number of groups and candidates on them. Half the seats in the Senate are up for Federal election May 21, in NSW this means six vacancies need to be filled.

On the white Senate ballot paper, you need to either:
• number at least six boxes above the line for the parties or groups of your choice, or
• number at least 12 boxes below the line for individual candidates of your choice.

Federal Election May 21

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Voting on the House of Representatives is on a Green Ballot paper. Nominations for candidates closed at noon on Thursday (21st April). The order that names are placed on the ballot paper will be determined by a random draw on Friday (22nd April) after this issue of the Hills to Hawkesbury Community News is printed.

To vote for a Member of the House of Representatives, you are required to write the number ‘1’ in the box next to the candidate who is your first choice, and the numbers ‘2’, ‘3’ and so on against all the other candidates until all the boxes have been numbered, in order of your preference.

Polling officials at the polling place are available to assist voters. If you make a mistake you may return it to the polling official who issued it and receive a fresh ballot paper.
