Election Question 2014 - Define the Debate

Ahead of the Victorian State Election on 29 November, VicSRC is proud to partner with Our Say on electionquestion.com – a new online platform giving Victorian young people the chance to ask candidates the tough questions that matter to them.

Election Question allows young people to post questions for their local candidates. Readers vote for the questions that they want answered, with everyone getting 7 votes to spend. The top three questions with the most votes in each electorate will be answered by the candidates before the election.
 
We encourage all young people to get involved! Post questions, encourage others to share theirs, vote for questions you want answered.

 

Election Question is supported by these organisation:

• Victorian Local Governance Association
• YWCA Victoria
• Museum of Australian Democracy at Eureka
• Municipal Association of Victoria
• Islamic Council of Victoria
• Youth Advisory Council of Victoria
• Koorie Youth Council
• Youth Disability Advocacy Service
• Victorian School Representative Council (VicSRC)
• Foundation for Young Australians
