Australia’s voting system is built on the principle of compulsory, preferential voting, making it one of the most distinctive democratic frameworks in the world.

At federal elections, citizens vote for members of the House of Representatives and the Senate. The process is overseen by the Australian Electoral Commission, which ensures elections are fair, transparent, and accessible across the country.

For the House of Representatives, voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate wins an outright majority, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed based on preferences. This continues until one candidate achieves a majority, ensuring the elected representative has broad support.

The Senate uses a proportional representation system, where voters can also rank candidates or choose a party ticket. This allows smaller parties and independents a better chance of gaining seats compared to winner-takes-all systems.

Voting is compulsory for eligible citizens in Australia, with fines for non-participation unless a valid reason is provided. Elections are typically held every three years for the House of Representatives, while Senators serve fixed six-year terms.

This system encourages high voter turnout, often above 90 percent, and promotes a more representative parliament where multiple voices can be heard, shaping national decisions through preference and proportion rather than simple majority rule.
