How to Vote Accurately (Including Mock Ballot Papers)

In the state election, voters will receive two ballot papers: a green one for the House of Assembly and a white one for the Legislative Council.

House of Assembly

The green House of Assembly ballot paper mandates numbering all candidates in order of preference.

Mark the number 1 in the square adjacent to your preferred candidate and number 2 beside your second choice. Continue marking 3, 4 and so on until every square has a number.Unsure? Reach out to an electoral officer for assistance.

You are permitted to vote in two manners- above the red line and below the line- but not both.

Voting Above The Red Line

If voting above the red line:

Enter the number 1 in the square beside your first choice party or candidates' group. You can mark the number 2 next to your second choice and continue the same pattern until satisfied but not required to fill in every square. Leave the remaining part of the ballot paper blank and do not fill below the red line. By voting above the red line, your vote will be for the nominated group or parties' candidates.

Voting Below The Red Line

If you prefer to vote below the red line:

When marking your ballot, start by placing a "1" in the box next to your top choice candidate. Follow this by continuing to mark candidates of your choosing with numbers 2 through 6 until you have selected at least 12 individuals that align with your preferences. Of course, you may select more than 12, if you so desire. The votes placed below the red line will determine the order of candidates selected according to your personal preferences.

Should you make an error while marking your ballot, there's no need to panic. Simply strike through the mistake and write the correct information beside it. Alternatively, if you're unsure, you can request a replacement ballot paper from an electoral officer.
