Voting is not only useless, it actually undermines genuine democracy by legitimizing an inherently undemocratic process. During this
election we are encouraging people to eat their ballots by having our chefs develop
delicious recipes. Check out great dishes such as The Ballot Burger, with a side order of
Campaign Literature. Or perhaps you enjoy cheese and would like to
try a Ballot
Fondue. Of course, there are other interesting ways todestroy your ballot...but try not
to wind up in jail...
During the last Federal Election, two of us were actually charged with
destroying our
own ballots. Check out our history, and press releases here.
Mailing list:
For those interested in organizing our campaign there is a mailing list to
allow the local groups to coordinate their efforts and exchange ideas and
information. If you want to join
the mailing list, email lists@tao.ca
with the command "subscribe ebs-l" in the body of the email. |
Wow...three of us just have been charged for eating our ballots, and more will be shortly. For info, try here and here. If you can afford to
make a donation to the Edible Ballot Society Legal Defence and Kitchen
Appliance Fund, please email wrench@tao.ca. To join in on a discussion
about the charges, click here. For regular updates from the EBS, email
edibleballot@tao.ca with the subject "me want updates".
Special thanks to DIST for providing us
with a research grant, and
tao for allowing us to squat.

Politicians sell
their vote to corporate donors all the time, why shouldn't we also
profit? People across the country can sell their votes on the
Ballot Auction House (not to mention on EBay, and in
classified ads). Help bring market efficiency to the
electoral process! Note: Bidding has ended, but you can still
view the list of sold votes.
The Edible
Ballot Society is a national coalition of groups, all organizing locally and
coordinating their efforts. Start up a group in your city, town, school
or
prison, or join one which already exists. For those involved in the
organizing efforts there is a list-serve which you can join. We also have
some resources such as posters,
pamphlets, articles, and research
material. If you want updates on our campaign, email edibleballot@tao.ca.
If you have
spare change, make a donation.
