The museum at the Old Parliament House in Adelaide, South Australia, has a
considerable history of exhibitions on voting and political processes,
including some innovative hands-on, interactive and educational programs.
They also have a good record of creating exhibits that involve audiences
who are remote from the voting experience - e.g. school children.

They have also just concluded a year of special programs to mark the
CENTENARY of women's suffrage in South Australia.

No published email address that I can find - so you'll have to contact the
Director, Brian Samuels, by other means:

telephone       + 61 8 207 1077
