Summary/Abstract: Informal votes in the Australian House of Representatives elections 2001–2013Analysing 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?
