Every Vote Helps Shape the Future

But candidates, policies, voting options, key dates, and enrolment rules can be difficult to navigate. Important information often get lost in the noise.

That's why we're working with Build a Ballot to help Victorians access practical, nonpartisan information ahead of election day.

Because when more people participate, democracy works better for everyone.

Every vote helps decide the world we build together.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • To vote in this election, you need to be enrolled at an address in Victoria where you’ve lived for at least one month. If you live in another state or territory, you’ll vote in that state’s elections instead – but everyone across Australia can vote in federal elections.

  • Yes. If you can’t get to a voting centre on 28 November, you can vote early (from 18 November), by post, or – if you’re overseas or interstate – through dedicated overseas and interstate voting options. We’ll walk you through all three.

  • Build a Ballot is our nonpartisan ally on this campaign – a free tool that helps Australians cut through the noise and understand who's running, what they actually stand for, and how that lines up with what you care about. Just like us, they don't tell you who to vote for. We've partnered with them so the information we point you to is as clear and unbiased as our message is.

    We'll bring together important dates, voting information, and practical resources in one place to help you get election ready.

    No jargon. No political endorsements. Just useful information to help you participate.

  • Ben & Jerry's has long believed that democracy works best when more people participate. We don't tell people who to vote for.

    We do believe everyone should have the information and confidence they need to make their voice heard.

    That's why we're encouraging Victorians to get informed, get involved, and get ready to vote.

  • Yes. We don’t endorse any candidate or party. We’re here to help people get enrolled, informed and voting – not to tell anyone how to vote.

  • No. Voting in Victoria is by secret ballot, and we have no way of seeing or storing how you vote. We’re just here to help you get ready for it.
