Your ways to vote
You don't have to wait until election day

Low sensory voting

Filling in your ballot papers
You get two ballot papers
One for your local district in the Legislative Assembly, and one for your region in the Legislative Council.
MVM's how-to-vote card shows you how to number both. Bring it with you, or take a photo of it on your phone — you are allowed to use it inside the voting booth.
Why this matters
On 28 November, Victorians elect all 88 seats in the Legislative Assembly and all 40 seats in the Legislative Council.
In key Victorian districts, Muslim voters are numerous enough to decide the result.
State Parliament decides how our hospitals and schools are run, how police operate, what gets built in our suburbs, and what protection we have from vilification. These are the decisions that touch our families every week.
This means we have the power to
- Elect representatives who align with our values.
- Hold those who ignore us accountable at the ballot box.

Votes with purpose
This tool helped me vote with purpose. Our votes should never be taken for granted again.
Thank you MVM for the guidance, it's never been clear which candidate or party I can trust on election day.
For the first time, I felt like my vote actually mattered.
