Can @electionsvic explain how our How to Vote card is likely to mislead voters?
This is our How to Vote card.
It includes a mockup of the ballot paper and reminds voters THREE times to number all the boxes.
But the VEC won't accept this.

Instead, the VEC want our How to Vote card to look like this.
➡️No mockup of the ballot paper.
➡️Only one candidate listed.
➡️No mention of other candidates.
The VEC expects us to believe that this will not lead to informal votes.
Hypocritical and ridiculous!

Monique Ryan had blank boxes on her How to Vote card with instructions to number every box and the informal vote in Kooyong was at 2.89%, lower than the national average of 3.4% and Victoria’s average of 3.5%.
The VEC's position is not supported by evidence.

The VEC has also misinterpreted Section 79 2C of the Electoral Act 2002.
The legislation clearly does NOT prevent the use of blank boxes on a How to Vote card.
