Blank and informal votes

A blank vote means that a voter has not voted for any candidates in a particular election (e.g. mayor, ward councillor etc.).

An informal vote is when:

  • the electoral officer has reason to believe a voting document is not an official voting document
  • the voter has voted for more candidates than there are positions available (e.g. voted for four candidates where there are only three positions)
  • the voter’s intention is not clear (i.e. the vote doesn't clearly show who the voter wanted to vote for).

Affiliation

Affiliation means that a candidate is officially supported by an organisation or group.
