What is a "Community Preselection"?
For more than 120 years, the Labor Party has chosen its candidates through an election of its members. Labor recognises that the way people participate in politics has changed – which is why you are invited as a member of the Campbelltown Community to help choose Labor’s candidate.
Voting is open to all residents of the Campbelltown state electorate who are not members of another political party. You do not have to be a member of the Labor Party to vote.
How does it work?
Candidates in the Campbelltown community preselection are chosen through a weighted vote of both the local Labor members in the area and the community. Both portions of the vote are weighted at 50% of the total vote. After the final voting deadline, ballots are counted and weighted accordingly, and a winner is determined. The candidate that is selected becomes Labor's candidate for the seat of Campbelltown in the 2015 State election.
