Send us your reports of same-sex marriage postal surveys gone astray

After the mail-out of same-sex marriage postal survey forms, which started on 12 September, the Australian Bureau of Statistics has advised Australians to seek help if their forms have not arrived by 25 September.

Next week we’ll be asking you whether your forms failed to arrive.

But in the meantime, after reports of forms dumped in a woman’s front yard in Brunswick or up for sale on social media in Newcastle, we wanted to ask whether you’ve seen any stray forms or other mishaps.

We’re thinking: forms not being sent to the intended recipient’s enrolled address, evidence of deliberate tampering; duplicate forms; forms found in public places not post boxes; votes for sale. Anything that points towards the true addressee being prevented from having their say on marriage equality.
