NCPC ROLE IN FEDERAL POLITICS

Democratic elections are supposed to lead to a parliament that represents the views of the voters. To make an informed decision in a democratic election, voters must critically assess the policies and the track record of both the political parties and candidates competing for their vote. However, the lack of accessible, objective information in the public domain makes this a challenging task and risks many voters making a decision on more superficial grounds such as campaign slogans and posters.
