WEST Australians have been urged to read Saturday’s daylight saving referendum question and instructions on how to vote carefully after No campaigners claimed ballot papers were biased.
Voters are instructed to write Yes or No in response to the question asking whether WA should have daylight saving, but the WA Electoral Commission confirmed that a tick could be counted as a Yes vote while a cross would be ruled invalid.
Premier Colin Barnett, who will vote against daylight saving, urged voters to read the ballot paper carefully.
He also told 6PR Radio this moreferendum werrning that West Australians should not allow politicians to come up with questions for future referendums.
Electoral Commissioner Warwick Gately rejected accusations the referendum was being manipulated, saying legal principles that applied at the 1992 daylight saving e being applied.
