complete, the time-consuming scanning of Legislative Council ballot papers takes time. The button push for the distribution of preferences is expected around the Anzac Day weekend.</p> <p><strong>Update</strong>: With every vote now counted, there are some slight changes to the partial quota values. One Nation is 0.51, Labor 0.42, LDP 0.39, Family First 0.37. I still stick to my view in the post that Labor’s position will improve with scrutiny of BTL votes, with preference flows from the Greens, Animal Justice and Legalise Cannabis, and with the general leakage of preferences to the larger parties. But there is a chance the gap could close if there are any significant preference flows between the LDP and Family First. And there is still a chance that order could alter.</p> <p><strong>Original Post Follows</strong></p> <p>With the lower house counts being finalised today, it is time to take a closer look at the upper house election for the Legislative Council (LC).</p> <p>Almost all Legislative Council first preference votes have been counted. The process of scanning and data entering ballot papers is underway. Once that is completed, the distribution of preferences will be undertaken very quickly by computer.</p> <p>Nine seats are clear, electing four Labor MLCs, four Liberals and one Green. The final two seats look likely to go a fifth Labor MLC and the state’s first One Nation MLC.</p> <p>If the election finishes as set out in the previous paragraph, the new Legislative Council will be 9 Labor, 8 Liberal, 2 Greens, 2 SA Best and a One Nation member. Assuming Labor appoints a President, then Labor would need the votes of three of the five cross bench members to pass legislation.<br /> <a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/2022-sa-legislative-council-result/" class="" rel="bookmark">Read More »<span class="screen-reader-text">2022 SA Legislative Council Result</span></a></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-5477" class="post-5477 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-australia-elections-state category-south-australia tag-post-election-counting tag-sa-election tag-south-australia layout-default col-12 nv-non-grid-article "> <div class="article-content-col"> <div class="content"> <div class="non-grid-content default-layout-content"><h2 class="blog-entry-title entry-title"><a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/2022-south-australian-election-result/" rel="bookmark">2022 South Australian Election – Post Election Thread</a></h2><ul class="nv-meta-list"><li class="meta author vcard"><span class="author-name fn">by <a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/author/antony-green/" title="Posts by Antony Green" rel="author">Antony Green</a></span></li><li class="meta date posted-on"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2022-03-19T18:26:00+11:00" content="2022-03-19">March 19, 2022</time><time class="updated" datetime="2022-03-28T07:29:23+11:00">March 28, 2022</time></li></ul><div class="excerpt-wrap entry-summary"><p>In this post I will keep track of the post-election counting for the South Australia election.</p> <p>This post is an adjunct to the ABC results site where I will fine tune predictions through the rest of the count.

Below I summarise the preference recommendations in important seats.</p> <p>You can find the how-to-votes for each district on the <a href="https://www.ecsa.sa.gov.au/elections/2022-state-election/how-to-vote-cards">Electoral Commission SA website</a>.</p> <p>I’ve also published the Legislative Council recommendations. The posters for these are displayed in polling places but not placed inside the voting partition. You can find the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/sa/2022/guide/lc-htvs">Legislative Council tickets on my ABC election site</a> and I hope to publish more on the LC preferences later this week. Some information on <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/sa/2022/guide/lc-preview">how the 2018 preference count unfolded is included in my Legislative Council Preview</a>, again on the ABC site.</p> <p>The problems for most minor political parties is a lack of volunteers to hand out how-to-vote material outside polling places. This disadvantage is lessened in South Australia by the display of the how-to-vote recommendations.</p> <p>For instance, Family First for many years issued how-to-votes with preferences to Labor candidates in a small number of seats, mainly those associated with the conservative SDA union. Preferences in these seats were more likely to flow to Labor rather than the Liberal Party. It was a difference in preference flows rarely seen at Federal elections where influencing voters with how-to-vote relies on volunteers handing them to voters.</p> <p>Family First was absorbed by the Australian Conservatives for the 2018 South Australian election, but continued with the practice of favouring selected Labor candidates with preference recommendations. In 26 seats Conservative preferences were recommended to the Liberal Party and flowed 77% in that direction. The five seats favouring Labor split evenly, only 51.5% to the Liberal Party, and the two seats with split how-to-votes flowed only 67% to the Liberal Party. They are remarkable differences in preference flows compared to flows at Federal elections.</p> <p>Here’s the preference recommendation summary in key seats.<br /> <a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/sa-election-preference-recommendations/" class="" rel="bookmark">Read More »<span class="screen-reader-text">SA Election Preference Recommendations</span></a></p> </div></div> </div> </div> </article> <article id="post-5427" class="post-5427 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-australia-elections-federal category-electoral-law category-federal-elections category-senate tag-2022-election tag-australia tag-election-dates tag-elections layout-default col-12 nv-non-grid-article "> <div class="article-content-col"> <div class="content"> <div class="non-grid-content default-layout-content"><h2 class="blog-entry-title entry-title"><a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/why-the-2022-house-and-senate-elections-will-be-held-on-the-same-day/" rel="bookmark">Why the 2022 House and Senate Elections will be held on the same day</a></h2><ul class="nv-meta-list"><li class="meta author vcard"><span class="author-name fn">by <a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/author/antony-green/" title="Posts by Antony Green" rel="author">Antony Green</a></span></li><li class="meta date posted-on"><time class="entry-date published" datetime="2022-03-06T20:36:31+11:00" content="2022-03-06">March 6, 2022</time><time class="updated" datetime="2022-03-07T12:01:12+11:00">March 7, 2022</time></li></ul><div class="excerpt-wrap entry-summary"><p>Last year I wrote a <a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/when-can-the-next-federal-election-be-held/">post on possible elections dates</a>. In the post I wrote “There is a highly improbable option for a half-Senate election by 21 May 2022 and a separate House election as late as 3 September 2022.”</p> <p>This improbable option keeps being re-cycled as a real possibility.</p> <p>It isn’t.</p> <p>If the government doesn’t call a May election for the House in conjunction with the required half-Senate election, it would be an admission by the government that it is too frit to face the electorate. There is no constitutional or public administration reason to hold separate elections for the House and half-Senate in 2022. Separating the elections would be because the government saw some electoral benefit.</p> <p>In my view there is no benefit for the government in splitting the elections. In fact, splitting the election would be a terrible re-election strategy. Forcing the electorate to vote twice at most only 15 weeks apart would be deeply deeply unpopular and almost guarantee the government’s defeat.</p> <p>No Australian Prime Minister has ever called a separate half-Senate election at a time when a House election was due. No Prime Minister has ever delayed a House election beyond its normal term by creating two elections 15 weeks apart. Prime Minister Morrison is not going to the first Prime Minister to engage in the folly of splitting the two elections in this way. He didn’t do it in 2019 and he is not going to do it in 2022.</p> <p>The only people peddling this split election nonsense are people on twitter who hate the government. Splitting the elections would guarantee defeat. The government is not going to select the option that is its worst possible option for winning re-election.</p> <p>So having vented my irritation that this nonsense is still being peddled, let me explain why the elections can be split.<a href="https://antonygreen.com.au/why-the-2022-house-and-senate-elections-will-be-held-on-the-same-day/" class="" rel="bookmark">Read More »<span
