<a href="/wiki/Elections_in_Australia" title="Elections in Australia">elections</a>. Voting in the Australian <a href="/wiki/Australian_House_of_Representatives" title="Australian House of Representatives">lower house</a> uses a <a href="/wiki/Instant-runoff_voting" title="Instant-runoff voting">preferential voting system</a>. Voters must rank every candidate on the ballot in order for their vote to count. There are often numerous candidates on the ballot, some with little public profile, so voters may find it difficult to decide on all of them. Parties produce how-to-vote cards ostensibly to help voters. They contain details about the candidate or party, as well as instruction on how to cast a <a href="/wiki/Ranked_voting_systems" class="mw-redirect" title="Ranked voting systems">ranked vote</a> in the order that the party would prefer the voter follow. The flow of preferences can assist the party dispersing the cards directly and indirectly help allied parties.<sup id="cite_ref-pocp_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-pocp-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The use of HTV cards have benefited minor parties in a number of ways including increasing their chances of winning, punishing opponents and receiving policy commitments.<sup id="cite_ref-gpia_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-gpia-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Sometimes "preference deals" are done between political parties so that they are favoured by each other's HTV cards.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Voters are under no obligation to follow the cards. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Examples">Examples</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=How-to-vote_card&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Examples"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Federal">Federal</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=How-to-vote_card&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Federal"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Below is an example of a federal how-to-vote card's preferences, showing the preferences given by the Liberal candidate for <a href="/wiki/Division_of_Gilmore" title="Division of Gilmore">Gilmore</a> (<a href="/wiki/Andrew_Constance" title="Andrew Constance">Andrew Constance</a>) in <a href="/wiki/2022_Australian_federal_election" title="2022 Australian federal election">2022</a> for the <a href="/wiki/Australian_House_of_Representatives" title="Australian House of Representatives">House of Representatives</a> (Lower House):<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <table class="wikitable sortable"> <tbody><tr> <th># </th> <th colspan="2">Party </th> <th>Candidate </th></tr> <tr> <td>1 </td> <td style="background-color:#080CAB;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Liberal_Party_of_Australia" title="Liberal Party of Australia">Liberal</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Andrew_Constance" title="Andrew Constance">CONSTANCE, Andrew</a> </td></tr> <tr> <td>5 </td> <td style="background-color:#888888;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Independent_politicians_in_Australia" title="Independent politicians in Australia">Independent</a> </td> <td>DIGIGLIO, Nina </td></tr> <tr> <td>7 </td> <td style="background-color:#10C25B;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Australian_Greens" title="Australian Greens">Greens</a> </td> <td>MCCALLUM, Carmel </td></tr> <tr> <td>2 </td> <td style="background-color:#FFED00;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/United_Australia_Party_(2013)" title="United Australia Party (2013)">United Australia</a> </td> <td>MALONEY, Jordan </td></tr> <tr> <td>4 </td> <td style="background-color:#f36c21;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Pauline_Hanson%27s_One_Nation" title="Pauline Hanson's One Nation">One Nation</a> </td> <td>EID, Jeremy </td></tr> <tr> <td>3 </td> <td style="background-color:#fec327;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Libertarian_Party_(Australia)" title="Libertarian Party (Australia)">Liberal Democrats</a> </td> <td>FADINI, Adrian </td></tr> <tr> <td>6 </td> <td style="background-color:#F00011;"> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Australian_Labor_Party" title="Australian Labor Party">Labor</a> </td> <td><a href="/wiki/Fiona_Phillips_(politician)" title="Fiona Phillips (politician)">PHILLIPS, Fiona</a> </td></tr></tbody></table> <p>In a federal election, voters need to number every box on the Lower House ballot paper. On the <a href="/wiki/Australian_Senate" title="Australian Senate">Senate</a> (Upper House) ballot paper, at least six boxes must be numbered <a href="/wiki/Group_voting_ticket" title="Group voting ticket">above-the-line</a> and at least 12 must be numbered <a href="/wiki/Group_voting_ticket" title="Group voting ticket">below-the-line</a>. So, how-to-vote cards are numbered as such. As shown above in the Gilmore how-to-vote card, Constance showed his first preference in his own box (all how-to-vote cards give their party's candidate their first preference). Then, the minor <a href="/wiki/Right-wing_politics" title="Right-wing politics">right-wing</a> parties are given his second, third and fourth preferences, as they are most likely to support a <a href="/wiki/Coalition_(Australia)" title="Coalition (Australia)">Coalition</a> government in the event of a <a href="/wiki/Hung_parliament" title="Hung parliament">hung parliament</a>. Then, he places the independent candidate fifth. Independents can hold a variety of views, but in this case the independent holds <a href="/wiki/Anti-vaccine" class="mw-redirect" title="Anti-vaccine">anti-vaccine</a> views and was formerly a member of the Greens.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Finally, he places the <a href="/wiki/Left-wing_politics" title="Left-wing politics">left-leaning</a> parties last (Labor sixth and the Greens seventh). This is because there are two major political parties that can realistically form government in Australia: Labor and the Coalition. Therefore, the major parties avoid preferencing each other anywhere but at the bottom. Then, the Greens (which in hung parliaments support Labor) are placed last. This is because the Coalition are outspoken critics of the Greens and their policies. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="New_South_Wales">New South Wales</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=How-to-vote_card&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: New South Wales"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>New South Wales uses <a href="/wiki/Optional_preferential_voting" title="Optional preferential voting">optional preferential voting</a> (OPV) for the <a href="/wiki/New_South_Wales_Legislative_Assembly" title="New South Wales Legislative Assembly">Legislative Assembly</a> (Lower House). This means that voters only need to number one box on the Lower House ballot paper, but may choose to number more. Therefore, several parties (including the Coalition) only show one box numbered.
