3 May Australians will head to the elections to vote in the first federal elections since 2022.
The results will determine who will be the next Prime Minister, as well as the country’s parliament.
In Australia, of course, there is a unique electoral system – and some intricate day poll traditions. Voting is mandatory for all citizens over 18, the country uses a preferential vote and By picking up “Democracy Sausage” This is the custom for the survey.
Almost 18 million people are registered for voting in this election – approximately 98% of those who have the right.
Unlike the first postal system used in the UK and most US states – who choose candidates based on the one who received the highest number of votes in the same count, regardless of whether they have provided the voters in Australia who rank the candidate in order.
If no candidate wins more than 50% of the vote in the first count, the votes from the least popular candidates are redistributed, and this process is repeated as long as someone secures the majority.
In the races for the House of Representatives, voters are obliged to point out the advantage for each candidate listed in the newsletter.
However, voters need to note the prescribed number of advantages.
This is the leader of the party who receives the most places in the house, which then becomes the Prime Minister. There is no separate voting.
All places in the House of Representatives of Australia are 150 in this election – there will be grips, as well as 40 out of 76 seats in the Senate.
There are two main parties in Australia: the left-wing Australian Labor Party and the Conservative Liberal-National Coalition.
One party must win at least 76 places in the house to form most government.
If it cannot do it, it should try to get support from minor sides or independent deputies.
Both in state and federal elections, the share of voting for minor sides and independent constant decades is constantly increasing in Australia.
This has reached record levels at the 2022 federal election, with Every third Australians who deny the votes for candidates at the borders of two major parties.
The work was formed by the majority after winning the 2022 elections, which brought the greatest loss for the liberal party since its creation.
Currently, there are 78 places in the House of Representatives, and 57 coalition, with minor parties and independent parts.
But with one house the house is canceled, if only two places will lose in this election, it will be deprived of the majority in the parliament.
In order to create power by itself, the coalition must win 19 places, most likely, including many of those who lost independent candidates during the 2022 voting.
Anthony Albonez has been a prime minister from the last elections, as well as a disobedient parliament for almost 30 years.
While he has enjoyed the period of wide popularity after coming to power in 2022, it has recently been pressure from its dividing topics such as housing, indigenous affairs, as well as anti -Semitism and Islamophobia.
Albonez disputes Peter Datton, who became the head of the liberal-national coalition after the defeat in 2022. He disputes his first elections as an opposition leader.
Known as a Conservative, called, Datton has many years of work in important ministerial portfolios – such as defense and household chores – but sometimes was a contradictory figure, especially on social issues.
Both the poll and political messages around the election this year show that the cost of life is the biggest problem for many voters.
From the 2022 elections, inflation – now slowing down – has pushed prices for daily necessities, such as nutrition and utilities, leaving numerous households that feel stretched.
The Albonez government pursued a number of politicians who, she said, aimed at providing assistance, for example, the maintenance costs, as well as a tax reduction, energy discounts and rental assistance to those who have the right.
However, since May 2022, Australia has raised interest rates – what is being done regardless of the government, but is being considered to reflect their economic management – and this exerted additional pressure on borrowers and those who have a mortgage across the country.
Housing availability will also be a key issue in this electoral cycle: several Australian cities among the world’s most expensive for buyers.
Historically, the Australians were used to getting the result and know who will form the government on the night in the elections.
However, as a rule, not the Australian Election Commission – the official body that has instructed to calculate the votes by hand – it proclaims it.
Instead, the nuclear power plant provides what is known as “demonstration” throughout the day, on which media commentators, election experts, and sometimes even on the sides and candidates, and then rely on their calls.
AEC does not officially announce the place until it is sure that the result does not change depending on the number of dissatisfied votes that can sometimes take the days.
