Thank you for your hard work, Build a Ballot was so easy to use, both online and at the booth. My children in their early 20’s feel very despondent about the future but your efforts to make the future seem a little brighter for their generation is giving them a little more power.

Gill

I used the Build a Ballot website before voting yesterday and I was so glad I did! I was pretty overwhelmed by the massive white ballot and all the parties, so I whipped out my guide that I had made earlier and just copied the numbers down, so easy!

Anon

Thank you so much! I was able to help so many people, younger and older, make informed voting decisions through your site.

Danielle

It’s such a great tool, very very helpful for political overwhelm and last minute stress voters who leave it til the last minute (which is usually me but not this year)

Kendela

I loved Build a Ballot, so good and accessible too (especially for those of us with hidden disabilities) - took a lot of work out of the research and let me target my energy.

Michelle

I’m 62 and have never found a way to vote that aligned so well with my values!! Thank you so much.

Sue

I shared your brilliance with all my green Z babies and their mates to help educate them in this first time at the booths, and they made me so proud! So careful and considered they were with their vote. We are in good hands for the future.

Anon

This process helped me so much!!! I’ve never fully understood the voting system or how to work out my preferences correctly in alignment with my values. It felt so empowering.

Amber

So impressed with what you’ve created. I was able to have great conversations with my family and help them really see who they aligned with!

Anon

While handing out how to vote cards in regional NSW, I saw an older couple with their printed out Build a Ballot, stapled A4 pages and everything! So cool to see!

Sarah

Build a Ballot just helped one of my friends overcome their voting anxiety and get to the polls 1 hour before they closed.

Imogen

Thank you so much for this tool! It makes voting by POLICY so easy!

Kate

I’ve never felt so informed before an election and it was an incredible feeling! I’m so excited to see what comes next and just as excited to keep recommending you to everyone I know.

Nicola

Build a Ballot is the best thing about this election! Made it SO EASY for my two young adult kids to plan their vote, and generated great political chat in our house.

Chelsea

Build a Ballot is a game changer. I was in and out of that pre-polling booth in 5 minutes. It definitely took away all the overwhelm especially with that senate paper.

Emma

It was so satisfying attending my pre-polling centre and saying to all the parties handing out pamphlets “I already know how I am voting.” I felt a new sense of pride knowing I had done my research.

Hannah

I did an early vote today and it was so much less overwhelming going into the chaos of the polling place knowing I had an ordered voting plan.

Nikiesha

I just early voted. Used your site. So amazing and easy to use! I’ve discovered parties that align to my values. I’m 48 and I finally understand how my vote counts.

Beck

I linked my 23 year old daughter up with BaB last week after she said “Mum can’t I just vote for who you vote for.” She ended up being so pleased that your platform took out the guesswork, and now she’s shared with her mates.

Kellie

Just completed Build a Ballot with my 18 and 20 year old sons, it’s an exceptional tool! Lots of great conversations were had! off to family pre-poll, no wasted votes in this house!

Ange

I normally feel really dumb come election time so I laugh off not knowing who I’m voting for. I’m grateful for your tool as its really shown me my values and I can have a say in who I vote for. It’s helped me take back my power in the election.

Jay

I just used my Build a Ballot to vote early and it made it so easy. I think the easiest polling experience I have ever had. Thank you.

Ellen

THANK YOU! I voted early yesterday and went in armed with my Build a Ballot responses. You’ve built such a useful tool, which helps everyone from first time voters to busy Millennials and GenZ’s.

Mon

OMG! Thank you so much, this was so so useful! I consider myself someone who is politically engaged and aware but at the last election I was so overwhelmed by the amount of minor parties. I experience anxiety and being able to to build a ballot in a calm and informed environment made me feel very confident and secure.

Kelly

Oh my god, you guys have done a spectacular job. Build a Ballot is such an amazing tool.

Clare

Get election ready South Australia!

We’re bringing Build a Ballot down south, launching a couple of weeks before election day. Sign up and we’ll let you know as soon as the tool is live!

Success!
