I think I'll just shove the forms in my pocket with neither No or Yes and just walk out the door.
Plus, who will the 'donkey votes' go to?
The Yes crowd or the No??
Informal votes you mean?
They’re not included.
Usually 'Donkey Votes' go to the Party in Power.
So does this mean, the YES (via ALP) crowd get to benefit from the Donkey Votes.
...now an 'informal vote', say someone scribbles "get stuffed" on it - could also be considered a 'donkey vote' to the advantage of the YES/ALP???
A donkey vote goes to whichever candidate is on the top of the ballot paper.
It does
not usually go to the party in power. FFS, who told you that crap?
A donkey vote is when someone numbers the boxes in order starting with 1 at the top and working their way down 2, 3, 4, etc.
A donkey vote is a valid vote, and it goes to whoever has the box at the top.
An informal vote is something completely different, and they go to nobody.
Stop spreading bullshit.
FFS, how are people this stupid?
Definition: A donkey vote occurs when an elector simply numbers the ballot paper from top to bottom (or bottom to top) without regard to the logic of the preference allocation.
A donkey vote is counted as a valid vote because it contains a number “1” and has numbered every square in sequential order.
Many people believe that donkey votes are informal. This is not true.
A donkey vote is counted as a valid/formal vote. Provided the voter has marked the number “1” against a candidate and numbered the other candidates in order of preference, the vote will be counted.
