Donation drive

Time to dig deep-ish for the Poll Bludger’s bi-monthly appeal for contributions, which can be done through the “become a supporter” buttons at the top of the site and the bottom of each post. This follows a month in which I’ve devoted many long hours to the site, thanks to the Northern Territory election and its accompanying election guide and live results feature, without to this point having a whole lot to show for it on the donations front. Many more long hours will be put in over the coming weeks and months to bring you such delights as a comprehensive seat-by-seat guide to the October 26 Queensland state election, plus a reupholstered and better-than-ever live results facility featuring an innovative new approach to projecting three-party contests; ditto for the Australian Capital Territory election a week earlier; and an expanded BludgerTrack that will feature the return of state-level polling trends.
