I am a CALD woman. Why should I vote? Unlike many other countries, voting in Australia is compulsory. When you become an Australian citizen, you take on a responsibility to play a role in our democracy by voting in elections. It might feel like your vote isn’t worth much.

That means that no one needs to know if you choose to vote differently to your friends, family or community.

After all, one vote can’t do much, can it? The six National Women’s Allianc...
