| Description |
This is a ballot paper used in an Australian election. |
|---|---|
| Source | |
| Article | |
| Portion used |
One ballot paper. |
| Low resolution? |
Yes. |
| Purpose of use |
The image is used——to display a sample ballot paper in the "context of an article specifically on the Australian electoral system," to help the reader better appreciate a paragraph about the requirements from voters concerning ballot papers. And how voters respond to them, "by showing exactly what a voter is typically confronted with." The image also allows non-Australian readers to judge how an Australian ballot paper differs from ballot papers used in their own countries, which helps to further understanding of the topic of the article. |
| Replaceable? |
To fulfil the purpose above, is appropriate to show an official document produced by a Federal government department in Australia. There is therefore no free equivalent. |
