Article 2, Section 13: Voting by Ballot (Indiana Constitution Article 2, Section 13: "All elections by the People shall be by ballot.") All elections in Indiana must be done by ballot. This ensures that each person’s vote is confidential, and they can vote without pressure or intimidation. Why is this important? Ballot voting protects voter privacy and ensures that citizens can vote freely without fear of retribution. Example: When voting in person, Indiana citizens fill out a ballot in a private voting booth. No one can see who they voted for, which protects their right to vote freely.

We need to fight to open states’ primary systems so that ALL Americans are able to vote in our primaries. However, there are barriers to opening primary elections. The Constitution greatly constrains the federal government’s role in elections. The elections clause gives states control over the time, manner and place of their elections and the first amendment right to free association allows political parties to exclude voters on the basis of party affiliation. Americans Together is working towards electoral reform to help ALL Americans gain the right to add their voice in a primary. #ElectoralReform #VotingRights #FairElections

📝 At the 2024 NSW Local Government elections electors in Federation council will be given a ‘poll’ ballot paper to complete, in addition to their Councillor ballot paper. You will be asked three questions: 1️⃣ Do you believe that the forced amalgamation by the State Government in 2016 was a mistake? 2️⃣ Should the State Government compensate ratepayers for the ongoing costs of the amalgamation? 3️⃣ Do you support that Council should approach the State Government to guarantee representation for the former Urana Shire? Each question requires a “Yes” or a “No” answer. If you decide to answer “Yes” to one of the questions, place a tick in the square next to the word “Yes”. If you decide to vote “No” to a question, place a tick in the square next to the word “No”. Do the same for each question. The result of a council poll is determined by a majority of the votes cast. Voting in a council poll is not compulsory for electors and the result is not binding on the council. 👉Learn more about the 2024 Council Elections https://ow.ly/a5xW50Tajhb For more election information visit https://ow.ly/894X50Tajnu or call the NSW Electoral Commission on 1300 135 736. #federationcouncil #2024councilelections #creatingopportunity #celebratingcommunity
