Non-free media information and use rationale true for Electoral system of Australia
Description

This is a ballot paper used in an Australian election.

Source

http://www.peo.gov.au

Article

Electoral system of Australia

Portion used

One ballot paper.

Low resolution?

Yes.

Purpose of use

The image is used to display a sample ballot paper in the context of an article specifically on the Australian electoral system, to help the reader better appreciate a paragraph about the requirements from voters concerning ballot papers, and how voters respond to them, by showing exactly what a voter is typically confronted with. The image also allows non-Australian readers to judge how an Australian ballot paper differs from ballot papers used in their own countries, which helps to further understanding of the topic of the article.

Replaceable?

To fulfil the purpose above, is appropriate to show an official document produced by a Federal government department in Australia. There is therefore no free equivalent.
