July 2nd. Election Time mates. And a fucking double dissolution at that. Meaning we’re not just re-electing half of these politician types in the Senate and House of Reps, we’re re-electing ALL of them, making this hella important Make sure you check off this list heading into this election:

• If you’ve just turned 18 or you’ve moved address, you have until 8pm May 23rd to enroll/update your electoral roll. Go here to do so.
  
• If you’re going to be overseas/away from your voting electorate on July 2nd, go here to organise an early/mail vote.
• Know who and what you’re voting for. If you don’t know which parties/candidates stand with you, take this political compass to compare your stances to those of the major parties.

Other things to know:

• Don’t cast a donkey vote! A double dissolution means YOU get to directly pick the individuals you want to vote for, you don’t have to assign your votes to a party to disperse how they like. This is important! We won’t get a chance to completely shake up both Houses like this is for a while.
  
• Remember to obtain your Democracy Sausage one the way out of voting, as a BBQ should be somewhere near the voting facility. If one is not present, complain to the local authorities that your constitutional right to a Democracy Sausage is being infringed.
