W artykule analizie poddaję zjawisko oddawania głosów nieważnych w wyborach do australijskiej Izby Reprezentantów. Dzielę je na głosy oddawane nieintencjonalnie oraz intencjonalnie. Zwracam uwagę na zmieniającą się strukturę i przyczyny oddawania takich głosów oraz zadaję pytanie o to, czy może być to wskaźnikiem apatii, niezadowolenia z zasady przymusu głosowania i działania systemu demokratycznego na antypodach.

Analysing the spoiled ballots in the Australian House of Representatives’ elections, I divide them into unintentional and intentional spoiled ballots. I draw attention to the structure of the votes and to the causes of spoiling ballots. Are they an expression of apathy, a rejection of the choices on offer, an objection to compulsory voting system or a discontent with Australian democracy?
