Method of Voting
"Voting above the line" has been introduced for local government
elections in NSW. This means that the easiest
way to vote for Phil Colman and his team is to write the number
1 in the Group G box. A tick or cross must not be used.
Otherwise you can vote for candidates below the line, according to
the instructions on the ballot paper.
Preferences
By voting "above the line" your preferences are automatically distributed to other candidates. In the case of Treasure Our Lifestyle, two thirds of the preferences go to the Warringah Independent Network group and one third go to the Labor Party group. These groups have, in turn, agreed to exchange preferences with Treasure Our Lifestyle. If you do not agree with this distribution of preferences then you should consider voting below the line in accordance with the instructions on the ballot paper. In this way you can still give Phil Colman your number 1 vote but your preferences will be distributed according to your wishes.Policies
