Your preferences really do matter

[Odessa]

I know some of you have said that you don't understand politics, preference voting etc, so I thought perhaps you might like some more information.

An interesting and very important (imo) piece on why preference voting is important:

And the Greens have made a video about 'Double Value Voting' that you may be interested in.

Of course, not suggesting you should vote for any particular party - but just trying to clear up the preferences confusion for those who are interested :)

Also, the "How To Vote" cards handed out on the day are how that party wants you to vote. So if you want to fill in your own preferences, don't follow the cards.
