Vote 4 Me
“Perfect information for future voters and a must-have for the Australian classroom.”
Wild Dog Publishing, 2020
The students of Mount Mayhem School are fed up. Their uniform is hideous, the tuckshop is full of health food, while the sports cupboard is empty. It’s time for an election to find a student who will speak on everyone’s behalf and make some changes.
But who will it be?
There’s more to voting than you think. Vote for Me will show you how preferential voting works (and you’ll know more about it than the average adult in Australia).
