We have found many 'voices of' groups and new ones keep appearing. Our survey about their candidate selection process is now open and live for continuous feedback. Provide your input at the Scorecard link on our website. #auspol #auspolitics #auspolitician #voicesof tiktok.com/@progressiveactio…

We’re making sure that the Independent movement represents as much of the community as possible. Do you know how your ‘Voices of’ group selected their candidates? Was there an EOI? Or did it come out of closed networks? Here’s to doing democracy differently. Follow us to see how your local Independent was endorsed by their community…🔗 #Auspol #voicesof #communitypolitics tiktok.com/@progressiveactio…

Did you know that in the last Australian federal election only 6% of MPs faced a preselection contest? Compare that to the US election where roughly 55 million Americans participate in political candidate primaries. We know that Australian major party membership participation is at an all-time low with many candidate selection processes made by kingmaker or captains call models—but what about community Independents? That’s what the Indie Democracy Scorecard is all about: how different Voices and Independent groups around the country have been, or plan to preselect their candidates ahead of the federal election. It starts with a survey which our team of researchers have delivered to 100+ Independent MPs, Senators, and Voices For groups. Results will be published in a digital scorecard later this month. The upcoming election presents an opportunity for Voices movements willing to experiment and select their candidate with a democratic contest. You can see the survey questions at progressiveactionlab.com.au/… So far we've had three responses, thank you to @MackellarVoices @VoicesofWannon @proACTcbr and @voicesforindi @VoGoldstein @VoicesForAU @of_hume @VoicesofPearce @VoicesofHinkler @OfBoothby @LyneVoices @VoicesforMallee @DicksonDecides @VoicesGroom @BelindaJones68 @Voices4Canberra @VoicesBradfield @CommunityIndeps @voicesofdeakin @Voices4Cowper @VoicesForDurack @VoicesOfDickson @VoicesOfFadden @proACTcbr @VoicesForTas @voices_topend @VoicesWentworth @warringahvoices @NorthSydsIndie @voicesofmoore @ForMonash @VoicesofKooyong @CoastFairfax @voices4nicholls @Voices4Forrest @VoicesforCasey @Claire4Casey @CAPADACT @politicsANU @ANUCrawford @DelDemUCan #VoicesOf #CommunityPolitics #AusPol
