Welcome to the Indie Democracy Scorecard—a short 6-question survey about community Independent candidate selection

We know that member participation in the major parties is in decline and at an all time low where many candidate selection processes are no longer democratic—but what about community Independents? That’s what the Indie Democracy Scorecard is all about: how different Voices and Independent groups around the country have been, or plan to preselect their candidates ahead of the federal election.

It’s our hope that these results form a new benchmark for public participation in the community Independent movement where community members can search and see for themselves how their local Independent group is contributing to rebuilding democracy. Results will be represented in a digital scorecard and used to promote public conversations about candidate selection and how our broader democracy might be improved.

If you are a representative of a community Independent group, or a current Independent MP or Senator we’d love to hear from you.
