ssi and Qmc hold a “how to Vote seminar”

THE Voice referendum will be happening this year, and there will also be local government elections in March 2024. Our communities, mainly recent citizens or soon-tobe citizens must understand what voting means and how they can participate.

Hence SSI collaborated with Queensland Multicultural Council and Electoral Commission Queensland to run a free voting workshop on 13th July from 5:30 to 7:30 pm at the SSI Gateway in Logan Central.

Milton Dick, Federal Speaker of the House, presented his role and that of the parliament sitting. Refreshments were provided. Representatives of the electoral commission ran mock voting and demonstrated the process, including the preferential counting; quite interesting to see the process, especially the count, which follows an elimination process based on preferences. Former Queensland speaker John Mickel spoke on the electoral and voting process.

Kenny Duke of SSI was the Mc for the event, and Umesh Chandra OAM representing Queensland Multicultural Council, introduced Hon Milton Dick MP Federal Speaker. Both Kenny Duke and Umesh Chandra OAM spoke about their respective organisations.

After the very informative and interactive session,

Queensland Multicultural Council presented a certificate of Appreciation to SSI, a former state
