Times they are a changing... and this is just one more reason why young voters have so much power at this election.⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Forget what you’ve heard about ‘safe’ seats - recent elections have shown the concept of one political party winning in the same electorate over and over is increasingly a thing of the past. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Going into the 2019 Federal election, it looks as though there will be more challenges made to what were previously safe seats.. more at Y Vote or link in bio⠀⠀

Another little known reason why your vote counts even if you live in a safe seat... ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ If you live in a safe seat and don’t vote because the party you support isn’t going to be elected, then you’re effectively depriving them of the cash they could use to fund future campaigns. How? ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ The Australian Electoral Commission distributes approximately $2.60 in campaign funding for every vote received by candidates who get more than 4% of the primary vote. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ More info 👉🏽 link in bio or home page of www.yvote.com.au

Y Voter Charlotte continues her work on the power of your vote... and explains in several, quick posts, how your vote makes a difference...⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Even if you live in a safe seat (an electorate that has been repeatedly won by a particular candidate or party), your vote still affects the outcome in the Federal Senate and many of the upper houses of the State parliaments (Australian Parliament follows a two-house or bi-cameral system). ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ More explained at link in bio 🗳
