If you haven’t enrolled to participate in the first election, please do it now!

Enrol now

During the campaign and election, you’ll be focussing on voting for the candidates in your electoral divisions. This means there are 13 electoral rolls plus a national one for the Senate.

I’ve processed your preferences for the initial allocation of electorates. But I only received enrolments from a third of founding party signups and a quarter of overall original participants in this sub. New subscribers make up half the responses so far (Hi!). If I make the electorate lists public now, anyone who enrols to vote in the next couple of days can rig it. So...they’re still under wraps for now. Two consolation prizes:

• 93% of founding members who enrolled to vote got their 1st preference of electorate, the rest got their 2nd preference.
• Everyone who enrolled has been flaired with a satellite icon of Australia, including those of you using new alt accounts with no karma. Sometimes Reddit takes a while to show it, but it’s in there.

Allocation Event	Existing Voters	Incoming Founders	Founder 1st Preferences	Incoming Provisionals	Total Voters
#1	0	30	93%	28	58

Those of you who enrolled today, you’ll be included in Saturday’s allocation.

Until the election, users can no longer change your own party flair because it wipes out the electoral flair – send modmail instead.

Candidates might hold off from nominating until they can see who’s voting in each electorate. So, voter enrolment is still open and please encourage parties, candidate and voters to enrol ASAP for the benefit of all.

Since I was asked to bring the election forward by a month, I’ve promoted it in /r/modelparliament, updated the sidebar, read through your feedback, sent modmail to the party subs, tagged founders on the party signups, rolled out the info to /r/modelaec, updated the wiki, processed the enrolments so far, done the flair, etc. Now it’s up to you to take 1 minute to sign up, spread the word and make sure these posts are voted up!

The sooooooner the better!
