Disillusioned with politics?
What are your MPs doing for you? Anything?
At Gold Coast Votes, we're dedicated to providing you with the information you need to make an informed vote.
We're a group of concerned community members who created this platform to bridge the gap between political advertising and the truth. By offering clear, non-partisan information on candidates and key issues, we aim to empower voters and build a more engaged and informed city.
