Informed voting? That's hot

Build a Ballot is for you when you’re trying to figure out what all the minor Senate parties are on about. It’s for your friend from run club who’ll ask ‘is there an election?’ 3 days before the vote. It’s for your colleague who thinks preferencing an independent means wasting their vote (PS it doesn’t).
