Australian election.</p> <p>You can find the calculators for each region <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa/2021/guide/calculator-upper">at this link</a>, an explanation of how they work <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa/2021/guide/calculator-upper-help">on this page</a>, and links to the group voting tickets for each region <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/elections/wa/2021/guide/gvt-index/">over here</a>.</p> <p>At the 2017 election, more than 95% of votes in all six regions were cast as single &#8216;1&#8217; above the line tickets, meaning those votes were counted according to each party&#8217;s lodged group voting tickets.</p> <p>The asymmetry of effort between casting a single &#8216;1&#8217; for a party above the line, or laboriously numbering more than 50 preferences below the line, herds voters into accepting the preference deals and voting above the line for a single party. That sends their vote off on a preferential magical mystery tour across the ballot paper.</p> <p>As usual there are complex micro-party preference harvesting deals, though not as locked together as at some previous elections. Each of the micro-parties has been allocated a region in which they will be favoured.

As the number of candidates increases, the advantage seems to increase. No one wants to be listed last on a ballot paper with a dozen or more candidates, a disadvantage the Liberal Party suffered at last year&#8217;s Eden-Monaro by-election.</p> <p>A similar advantage exists with upper house ballot papers for groups that appear in the first column at the left hand edge of the ballot paper. Experience has shown this advantage is even greater when there is confusion over ballot paper names.
