Scrutineers perform an extremely important role in ensuring that Australia's proud democratic tradition of transparent electoral events is maintained. Transparency and integrity in the conduct of electoral events have, after all, been the hallmarks of Australia's federal electoral system.
As a scrutineer, you need a clear understanding of your role, including what you can and cannot do under the law. The handbook below is designed to help you, before, during and after election day, to be as effective as possible as a scrutineer. Remember, you can play a significant part in helping to ensure, as far as possible, that every vote cast in an election counts.
This training session is run by a friend of the Francine campaign and is open to anyone interested in Scrutineering on Election Day.
Online training link will provided closer to event date.
