How does voting work in Australia? What is preferential voting? Can a vote be "wasted"? These are the questions I answer in this video as I explain to you how to fill in a ballot paper for the Senate and the House of Representatives. It's pretty simple and helps give you a lot of power over who you want to vote for!
