Victoria's informal vote rate is high and rising. In order to combat the problem of hundreds of thousands of 'lost votes' at Victorian state and local government elections we must first understand it. This collaboration with the Victorian Electoral Commission addresses the problem at both state and local levels over 3 election periods using 4 distinct studies. We combine experimental data, aggregate-level data and individual-level data to provide a thorough and multi-dimensional picture of informal voting. We will then propose remedies to be trialled and assessed. Taken together, our studies will represent the first multi-dimensional analysis of informality to be conducted in any Western democracy.

维多利亚州的非正式投票率很高，而且还在上升。为了解决维多利亚州和地方政府选举中数十万人“失去选票”的问题，我们必须首先了解这一问题。这次与维多利亚州选举委员会的合作，利用4项不同的研究，在3个选举期间在州和地方两级解决了这一问题。我们将实验数据、聚合级别的数据和个人级别的数据结合在一起，提供了一幅全面和多维的非正式投票图景。然后，我们将提出补救措施进行试验和评估。总而言之，我们的研究将代表着在任何西方民主国家中对非正式性进行的第一次多维分析。
