I stupidly only numbered 5 instead of 6 above the line in the Senate. Is my vote counted?
Even if I numbered 6, I risked exhausting my vote since I did not number Lab or Lib anywhere. One really should number as many as possible.
I was told the other week by a regular AEC worker that they still count votes like that if the intent is clear and if it isn't a practical issue for the vote like the last missing.
Like the last missing?
He was pretty adamant that it would be included, so long as the preference flow didn't go to that round.
Not sure with the Senate tho, that was about the lower house.
I was asking about Senate but it is good to know about Reps too. Mind you, it isn't hard to fill all the boxes on that tiny ballot.
