Western Australia Defeats Soldier Overseas Voting Bill
The Legislative Assembly defeats the Franchise Bill that would let overseas soldiers vote via an officer overseer. Opposition voices insist on a simple, direct ballot as troops and independents oppose the government plan and argue it risks abuse and unequal influence. The bill’s constitutional hurdle and limited support doom its passage.
