What will it take to deliver Victoria's largest and most complex election? At a recent Melbourne Press Club forum, Electoral Commissioner Sven Bluemmel outlined the scale of the task, from recruiting and training a workforce of 25,000 election officials to responding to the growing challenge of misinformation. 🎥 Watch the full recording here: youtube.com/watch?v=gFJgWSXJ…
Sven Bluemmel speaks into a microphone, gesturing, next to journalist Sumeyya Ilanbey who is listening, both seated on a stage. Text: \"Victorian citizens themselves are the most important line of defence against misinformation.\" \u2014 Sven Bluemmel, Victorian Electoral Commissioner.
