Melbourne City Council Election is due Friday 26/10/12 by post.
Melbourne City Council Elections.
All Melbourne Residents.
The City of Melbourne Council Election in upon us again.
With 57 candidates, including nine Lord Mayoral teams, it is important to use your vote wisely. Remember the election is by postal voting only; your ballot papers must be returned by 5:00 pm Friday 26 October.
Melbourne electoral voting system is not based on wards so not very representative.
The complexity of the system baffles most.To explanation:
For example one of the most deplorable aspects of the system is that a councilor to stand any chance of election, one must align them self with a lord mayoral candidate ticket.
Recent elections in Melbourne show that 80% of people vote above the line, for a Lord Mayor and Deputy.
Their preference votes flow directly on to councilors on their ticket.
This means that the success of any councilor is dependent on the vote pulling power of the specific lord mayoral alliance that a councilor candidate can form.
It is expensive for a councilor candidate to make him/herself known throughout the extremely large electorate of Melbourne - as there are no wards.
Very few councilor candidates can fund their own campaign, and therefore need to be in a mayoral team. These ‘alliances’ are hard to secure.
Another deplorable aspect of the system is that each ‘business vote’ is worth two residents’ votes. So a resident standing alone for council (and not as part of a mayoral team) is unlikely to succeed.
The question is can this system of the business vote open for abused?.
