Check Out That Your Name Is Crossed Out Properly On Election Day.....

Whilst we have a NSW State election coming up on 28th March 2015 as constituents of Mount Druitt State seat or in fact any other state seat here is a true story


 
At the last Federal election Phillip (we we call his surname Joy) from Mount Druitt went to a polling booth in Mount Druitt 
to vote and got his name marked off. His mother (we will say his Pauline Joy) went to a polling booth in Blacktown and got her name marked off the roll there.




So after a few weeks one of them received a letter from the electoral Commission that they voted twice and  the other received a letter saying they didn't vote. They both contacted the Electoral Commission and found out that there was an error-the same name was crossed off the rolls incorrectly by one of the Polling Clerks. I believe that Phillip didn't witness the crossing of his name.

So from this we learn hat watching the Polling Clerk crossing your name but be witnessed by yourself! So please do this to prevent any fines to be sent to you!

So the suggestio
