Dear John,

Not a day goes by without someone asking me questions about how our voting system works. Questions about how many boxes need to be numbered or where do preferences go, and that's just the tip of the iceberg.

With a federal election likely just days away, I thought now was the perfect time to try and clear this up once and for all.

So I called in some help from Australian television and radio icon John Burgess and teamed him up with the 'Please Explain' crew in an effort to answer every question you might have about how voting works in Australia. (Click on the video above.)

Your vote is your voice and I want to make sure it is heard.

You can help too so that we can boost the cartoon across the platforms and channels to reach more Australians. Pitch in with a targeted donation for the 'How to Vote Responsibly' episode.

With so many questions about voting that need answers and the major parties not helping with the issue of preferences, let's make sure this election everyone's vote is counted and correct.

Let's boost this video.

Kind regards,

Senator Pauline Hanson
