As the date of the Voice to Parliament referendum nears, misinformation about the voting process has intensified. Here are some of the biggest debunked claims.

Changed to title to the one used in the article since it is less click-bait-y. Useful article that goes through some of the misinformation about the voting process

    If you are that stupid to write your name on the ballot you deserve your vote to be thrown out. You can’t be that fucking stupid.

        Absolutely blew me away both sides handing out “how to vote” pamphlets. For elections it makes more sense but to write a single word in a box is insane

          Why? Polling has suggested a large percentage of voters will remain undecided up until the moment they vote. Having representatives there to influence and persuade voters is of strategic importance for both the Yes and No campaigns.

          I hope you don’t actually think “how to vote” volunteers are there simply to help people understand how voting works.

      maybe they should have said “to vote no, set your facebook status to: I declare my referendum vote to be NO and this post is legal and binding with no need to vote at ALBO’s FRAUD SITES”

      Might have tanked the entire No campaign!
