You have until 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday 31 March) to make a submission to the Justice and Electoral Select Committee on their post-election review of our voting system.

ActionStation have provided an online submission form and compiled some ideas:

• Civics education
• Compulsory voting (with a “no confidence” option?)
• Clarity about social media rules, third-party promoter rules and ballot rules
• Lowering the voting age to 16
• Making Election Day a national holiday
• Online voting
• Tax incentives for voting

What do you reckon?
