How to vote correctly
So you’ve got your CPSU Vic ballot papers – now what??
What to expect
Unless you are in the North Eastern Electorate (which only had 1 candidate for 1 vacancy, so no voting required), you will receive 2 ballot papers:
- 1 yellow ballot for all executive elections
- 1 white ballot paper for branch council positions.
Your ballot pack also has:
- instructions on how to fill your ballot in and how to get help in other languages
- 2 booklets of candidate statements – 1 for executive, 1 for branch council
- a declaration envelope to put your ballot papers in
- a reply paid envelope, to put your declaration ballot paper in (so your address details are kept private while it’s in the post).
How to fill in your ballot paper
Follow the instructions on each ballot paper to make sure your vote counts.
We have created resources to help you vote for all positions.
We’ve got:
- one big how to vote fold out (also included in our mailout)
- specific electorate posters you can print and put up in your workplaces (under how-to-vote posters on our campaign resources page)
- Instagram and Facebook posts with all electorate posters, so you can easily share with your social networks.
Please feel free to print these posters off and pop them up in your workplace!
If you haven’t already voted, we’d love for you to follow the candidate order on our how to vote card when you do your vote. This will give us the best chance at getting candidates on branch council or executive.
If your ballot pack hasn’t arrived
If you’re still waiting for your ballot, don’t stress! You can contact the AEC for a replacement.
To do this, call the AEC on 03 9285 7111 and press 1.
As of 8 July, the voting period has concluded – the AEC cannot assist with replacement ballots or late voting.
Never received your ballot? Let us know! And update your address details with the CPSU.
Everything looks good?
Amazing! We’d love to see some pictures of you voting, posting your vote or just generally getting around our campaign.
We’re also continuing our door knocking, phone banking and leafleting around CBD office buildings for the next few weeks.
As of 3 July, our ground campaign has concluded. Thank you to all of our volunteers!
