FAQs

Labor is in power and presided over the genocide in Palestine. Focusing elsewhere doesn’t make sense, especially when they have the power of influence internationally. This doesn’t mean others, such as the Liberal Party, should be enabled, but we must be strategic. See the next question.

It’s understandable to worry about benefiting Peter Dutton and the Liberal Party; however, our strategic objective isn’t merely to oppose a particular party, but rather to hold all political parties accountable for their policies, especially concerning critical issues like Palestine and the fair treatment of our community. If we continue to offer unconditional support to the Labor Party despite their longstanding neglect and silence on key issues, we lose any leverage to influence genuine policy changes.


By empowering independent candidates and strategically utilising our collective voting power, we send a clear message to all parties—including Labor—that our votes cannot be taken for granted. This strategy compels political parties to address our community’s concerns seriously, thus creating real political accountability. The ultimate risk isn’t empowering another party temporarily; it’s remaining complacent while injustice continues unaddressed.

No, we do not endorse any particular political party. Our goal is to educate, empower, and mobilise the Muslim community to vote strategically, supporting independent candidates or parties that best represent Islamic ethical values and our community’s concerns.

Yes, voting is halal. It is a practical method to achieve benefits (maslahah) and prevent harm (mafsadah). Islamic principles encourage actions that establish justice, protect human dignity, and promote social good.

It is time the Muslim Vote made the difference.

The Muslim Vote is dedicated to empowering Australian Muslims in the electoral process. It provides essential information on voting, key election dates, and analysis of party policies impacting their communities. By promoting informed participation, The Muslim Vote helps ensure that Muslim interests are well-represented in Australian politics.

Every step taken, no matter how small, is a step closer to change.

The community does not want Trump-style politics in Peter Dutton, but at the same time, the Australian Labor Party and those who seek power have taken the community for granted. Ramping up fear against Muslims declaring any criminal act “terrorism” while not holding the same standard for non-Muslims has become the norm. It is time we moved on and said, “We aren’t afraid irrespective of who takes power, we will take a stand.”

Frequently Asked Questions

What do we stand for?

We stand for issues that affect Muslims across the spectrum. We want the Muslim vote and voice heard across the political spectrum – on issues like Palestine and much more. Beyond this, we look to create viable grassroots political infrastructure in our communities.

Is this a political party?

No. The Muslim Vote is not a political party, and it does not intend to become either of these in the future. The Muslim Vote is a united collective mobilising the grassroots to participate in the electoral process. Our principal aims are to educate and mobilise at the grassroots. The community sentiment does exist, and it is important that their voices are put forward and their issues are represented without needing to conform to party policy.

How do I know I can trust you?

Trusted individuals who have long served the community are leading the charge. There is a huge vacuum, and our voices count. Our supporting organisations enjoy the support of hundreds of thousands of Muslims all over the country. We are a grassroots collective coming together, believing the Muslim Vote can affect the outcome. Understanding the Muslim Vote influence and its potential to shift the current Australian government into a minority government is a very likely possibility.

Are you backing any political party?

No. The Muslim Vote seeks to amplify the Muslim voice heard across the political spectrum on issues like Palestine, social housing, the cost of living, and facilities that cater to our communities. Beyond this, we look to create viable grassroots political infrastructure in our communities. Having an independent voice is real representation of the issues, unlike a political party.

We mean business.

For the first time, the Muslim community has united and is acting as one at the ballot box. And we’ve come well-prepared and are already making a difference. We have substantial funding to drive our impactful campaigns. Our audience has more than 10k monthly visitors through our affiliated organisations, amplifying our influence. With over 2000 dedicated volunteers, there is always room for more to join.
