Introduction
The Electoral System The conduct of federal elections is determined by the Constitution and by Acts of the Commonwealth Parliament, in particular the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 . The foundation for popular democratic elections was laid by the Constitution: sections 8 and 30 of the Constitution prohibit plural voting and sections 7 and 24 ensure both Houses are popularly elected; section 24 provides for the House of Representatives to be as nearly as practicable twice the size of the Senate; section 28 limits the term of the House of Representatives to three years whilst section 32 requires writs for an election to be issued within ten days of a dissolution or the expiry of the House of Representatives.
The Australian Electoral Commission administers the legislation governing elections and referendums, and conducts Commonwealth parliamentary elections and referendums. The Commissionâs chief executive officer is the Electoral Commissioner. An Australian Electoral Officer is appointed for each State and for the Northern Territory (another Australian Electoral Officer is appointed for the Australian Capital Territory for the duration of the election period). Other functions of the Commission include ⢠the administration and maintenance of
the electoral rolls ⢠enforcement of compulsory enrolment and voting ⢠administration of the public funding and
disclosure provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 , including the registration of candidates and parties, and ⢠the provision of advice, information and
education on electoral matters. The Commission also conducts elections and ballots under the provisions of the Industrial Relations Act 1988 and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Commission Act 1989 ,
and for other Commonwealth organisations and authorities as required.
The franchise Voting in national elections is open to Australian citizens (and British subjects on the electoral roll prior to 25 January 1984) who are aged 18 or over. Although only some women (those in South Australia and Western Australia) were entitled to vote for the first Commonwealth Parliament, full adult suffrage was established within a year by the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 (now section 93 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918). Registration of eligible voters was made compulsory in 1911, and this provision is now contained in section 101 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 . Voting has been compulsory since 1924.
Aboriginal franchise Aborigines, who had been generally excluded from the franchise since 1902, were given the right to vote in 1962 by the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1962 but it was not until 1984 that enrolment and voting became compulsory for Aborigines.
It should be noted that the 1967 referendum did not give aboriginal people the vote, but rather gave the Commonwealth power to make special laws on behalf of aboriginal people, and removed the exclusion of aboriginal people from being counted in reckoning the numbers of people of the Commonwealth.
Voting systems Preferential voting is used for the House of Representatives, and proportional representation, which is also fully preferential, is used for the Senate.
Qualifications for election to Parliament Section 163 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 specifies the qualifications for election to the Commonwealth Parliament. It requires candidates to be Australian citizens,

aged at least 18 years, and to be an elector entitled to vote, or qualified to become an elector. However, sitting members of either House may not be chosen or sit as a member of the other House. Sitting members of State or Territory Parliaments must resign from their respective Parliaments if they wish to stand for the Commonwealth Parliament.
Disqualifications for membership of Parliament Section 44 of the Constitution disqualifies certain people from being chosen or from sitting as a Member or a Senator. Excluded are persons: ⢠under any acknowledgment of allegiance,
obedience or adherence to a foreign power, or a citizen entitled to the rights or privileges of citizens of a foreign power (section 44 (i) ⢠attainted of treason, those convicted and
under sentence or subject to be sentenced for any Commonwealth or State law punishable by imprisonment for one year or longer, (section 44(ii) ⢠undischarged bankrupts or insolvents,
(section 44 (iii) ⢠holding an office of profit under the Crown, (section 44 (iv) ⢠having direct or indirect pecuniary
interest in any agreement with the Public Service of the Commonwealth (section 44 (v). In recent years there have been a number of challenges to election results on the basis of section 44. To be eligible for nomination as a candidate for the Commonwealth Parliament, a naturalised Australian must not hold dual citizenship, or, if dual citizenship does exist, such a person must specifically renounce the foreign citizenship. It is insufficient to rely on any renunciation made in the naturalisation process.
The High Court, in its decision in Sykes v Cleary1, which involved a challenge to the validity of the Wills by-election of 11 April 1992, held that section 44(iv) had the effect of disqualifying persons employed in State or
1 (1992) 176 CLR 77.
Commonwealth public services from being chosen or of sitting as a Senator or Member. Such persons therefore would be required to resign before being able to nominate as candidates. The successful candidate, Mr Philip Cleary, had not resigned from his position as a teacher with the Victorian Department of Education. The High Court also found that two other candidates for the by-election were incapable of being chosen under section 44(i) because each held dual citizenship, which they had not taken sufficient steps to renounce. The by-election was therefore declared void.
After the 1996 election the result in the division of Lindsay was disputed on the grounds that the successful Liberal candidate, Ms Jackie Kelly, was ineligible because she held an office of profit under the Crown at the time of nominating, and that, secondly, she was not an Australian citizen. The High Court, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, on 11 September 1996 found Ms Kelly ineligible because of the office of profit she had held2. Because the citizenship issue was not pursued at the time of the trial of the petition, the Court made no finding on the grounds of citizenship. There was a subsequent election for the division of Lindsay, generally referred to as a by-election, on 19 October 1996. Ms Kelly was elected with an increased majority.
After the 1998 election, but before the commencement of the Senate term on 1 July 1999, there was a challenge to the eligibility of Mrs Heather Hill, who was elected to the Senate for the State of Queensland. The High Court, sitting as the Court of Disputed Returns, upheld the challenge on 23 June 1999, finding that Mrs Hill had not renounced her British citizenship when she became a naturalised Australian, and was therefore incapable of being chosen under section 44(i).3 Great Britain was considered by the Court to be a foreign country.

Court ordered a recount of the Senate vote, and Mr Leonard (Len) Harris was declared elected on 2 July 1999.
Deposits on nominations Candidates must pay a deposit of $700 for the Senate and $350 for the House of Representatives. These deposits are refunded if a candidate gains four per cent or more of the total first preference vote, or is in a group of Senate candidates which polls four per cent or more.
Election advertising A ban on political advertising during Commonwealth and State election campaigns was made by the Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991. However, on 28 August 1992 the High Court, in Australian Capital Television Pty Ltd v The Commonwealth1, held that the ban on political advertising was invalid on the ground that it infringed an implied right of freedom of expression guaranteed in the Constitution.
The three-day ban on electronic advertising prior to the election day, which had been repealed when paid political advertising was banned, was re-introduced. It is now contained in the Broadcasting Services Act 1992.
Public funding and disclosure Public funding of election expenses was introduced in 1983, with the insertion of a new Part XX in the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, and the public funding and disclosure provisions have been refined progressively since then. Registered political parties, independent candidates and Senate groups not endorsed by registered political parties may receive payment at a set rate if they obtain four per cent or more of the total formal votes. Political parties and candidates wishing to participate in public funding of elections must register with the Australian Electoral Commission. Broadcasters and publishers were also required to make returns disclosing election expenditure. Changes to
1 (1992) 177 CLR 106.
the original public funding provisions were made by the Political Broadcasts and Political Disclosures Act 1991, which inserted a new Division 5A into Part XX of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 . This required full disclosure of political partiesâ finances, and annual returns by all registered political parties, within twenty weeks of the end of the financial year. This was later reduced to sixteen weeks by the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Act 1995. Further changes were made by the Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Act 1992.
The Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Act 1995 changed the amount of funding to a new base of $1.50 for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is indexed every six months to increases in the Consumer Price Index, and the rate for the 1998 election rose to 162.210 cents per vote. The cost of public funding has doubled since the 1993 election. The annual returns provisions were simplified.
The Australian Electoral Commission publishes Election Funding and Financial Disclosure Handbooks which give full details of the funding and disclosure requirements applying to parties and associated entities at each election.
Electoral legislation passed by the 38th Parliament The major changes to electoral law during the 38th Parliament was made by the Electoral and Referendum Amendment Act 1998 . Most changes were technical and operational. For a full summary see Electoral Newsfile No. 72, August 1998. Changes include: ⢠âLangerâ voting During the 1996 election campaign political activist Albert Langer launched a campaign to encourage voters to mark their ballot papers so as to register an optional preferential vote. This contravened section 329A of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, which makes it an offence to encourage anyone to mark their ballot paper in a manner contravening the directions on the

ballot paper. The Australian Electoral Commission took out an injunction to restrain Mr Langer, who then breached the injunction. He was consequently sentenced to ten weeks imprisonment for contempt of court, but was released after three weeks. He had unsuccessfully appealed against his conviction, but the Court held that the original sentence was excessive.1 As a result of the Langer case, and following
recommendations made by the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters, the law was changed. Section 240 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 was amended to require that the preferences on House of Representatives ballot papers are to be consecutive numbers, without the repetition of any number, and additionally section 329A was repealed by the Electoral and Referendum Amendment Act 1998. These amendments mean that âLangerâ style votes are now informal. ⢠The amounts required for nominations
were increased to $700 for the Senate and $350 for the House of Representatives ⢠The period for nominations was reduced by one day, to not less than ten days or more than 27 days ⢠The AEC may now conduct the scrutiny of Senate votes by computer process ⢠The number of signatures supporting the nomination of a candidate was increased from six to 50 ⢠Changing the due date of the determination of the representation entitlements of the states and Territories from the 10th to the 13th month from the first meeting of the House of Representatives after an election ⢠In a redistribution the criterion of maintaining existing boundaries is subordinate to the criteria of community of interest, means of communication and travel and physical features

Redistribution procedures Under the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, the allocation of boundaries is undertaken by Redistribution Committees appointed for each State, and for the Australian Capital Territory. Should the Northern Territory become entitled to more than one seat, the same redistribution provisions would apply. A quota of electors is determined according to the formula in section 24 of the Constitution, by dividing the number of the people of the Commonwealth (by which is meant the population of the six States only) by twice the number of Senators representing the States (144). The population of each State and Territory is then divided by the quota to determine the number of members to which each State and Territory is entitled. Under section 24 of the Constitution, all original States are guaranteed at least five members. This provision results in Tasmaniaâs quota, or average divisional enrolment, often being considerably smaller than for the other States and Territories. The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory are both guaranteed at least one member.
To ensure nearer numerical equality of representation, no electorate may deviate from the quota, or average divisional enrolment, determined for the State or Territory by more or less than ten per cent at the time of the redistribution and within 3.5 per cent of the projected average divisional enrolment three and a half years after the

redistribution. A redistribution must take place in that State or Territory whenever the numerical representation of a State changes, if more than one third of electorates in a State deviates from the quota by more than ten per cent for more than two months, or otherwise, every seven years.
Most recent redistributions Victoria was redistributed in 1994, when it lost one seat. Redistributions for Western Australia, Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory were made after the 1996 election. Western Australia was redistributed under the seven year requirement, while the redistributions for Queensland and the Australian Capital Territory were due to population changes. Queensland gained one seat and the Australian Capital Territory was reduced from three to two seats. Redistributions during the 39th Parliament are required under the seven year rule for New South Wales, South Australia and Tasmania. The previous redistributions were made in 1992. There were 148 seats for the House of Representatives at the 1998 election and the representation entitlement of each State and Territory was:
NSW VIC QLD WA SA TAS ACT NT 50 37 27 14 12 5 2 1
Parliamentary scrutiny
Since 1983 there has been continuing and detailed parliamentary scrutiny of electoral law and practices and their administration. The Joint Select Committee on Electoral Reform, whose Report in 1983 resulted in substantial changes to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918, was succeeded in 1987 by the Joint Standing Committee on Electoral Matters. In addition to specific inquiries, the Committee conducts inquiries into the conduct of each election. The reports of these committees, and the publications of the Australian Electoral Commission provide extensive information about the Commonwealth electoral system, elections and referendums.
1998 Election ⢠The term of the House of Representatives was due to expire on 29 April 1999, and an election had to be held by 3 July 1999.

election on 30 August 1998 ⢠The Governor-General, the Hon. Sir William Deane, upon the advice of the
Prime Minister, prorogued the Parliament prior to dissolving the House of Representatives on 31 August 1998 ⢠The election was held on 3 October 1998 ⢠A supplementary election was held for the division of Newcastle on 21 November 1998, due to the death of a candidate before polling day.

The date of the next election ⢠The next election must be held within 68 days of the expiry of the 39th Parliament, which opened on 10 November 1998
⢠It expires on 9 November 2001, and thus the election for the House of Representatives must be held by 12 January 2002, the last Saturday within this period
⢠The next half-Senate election must be held between 1 July 2001 and 30 June 2002
⢠In order to hold the elections of both House simultaneously, about six weeks must be allowed for the counting for the Senate to be completed before 30 June 2002, as the new Senate terms commence on 1 July 1999
⢠Thus the 1999 election would need to be held by 12 January 2002. The House of Representatives may, of course, be dissolved earlier at any time.

Senate Election Results 1998
General descriptions of the electoral system and provisions of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 may be found in the main Introduction to the Handbook on p. 10 and in the Introduction to the Elections section.
The Senate is elected by proportional representation. This was first introduced at the 1949 election by the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1948. From 1901 to 1918 first-past-the-post voting was used and from 1919 to 1948 preferential voting was used. Both these systems produced very large majorities for the victorious party. The Commonwealth Electoral Act 1948 introduced a proportional representation system designed to ensure that the number of seats won was proportional to the percentage of votes received. A candidate is elected by gaining the required quota of votes. The quota is determined by dividing the total number of formal votes in the count by one more than the number of Senators to be elected for the State or Territory and increasing that figure by one. This gives the number of votes required.
The percentage of votes required depends on whether there are six Senators to be elected for each State at a half-Senate election or twelve in a double dissolution.
To find the percentage of the vote required, divide 100 by one more than the number of Senators to be elected. Thus the percentage required for a half-Senate election is 14.29 per cent (100 divided by 7) and for a double dissolution it is 7.69 per cent (100 divided by 13). The Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory each elect two Senators at each election for the House of Representatives, and the quota for election is 33.3 per cent (100 divided by 3).

In 1983 substantial amendments to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 included less rigid tests of the formality of votes, the introduction of group voting tickets in Senate elections, and changes to the manner of conducting the Senate scrutiny. Candidates receiving the required quota are elected and any surplus of votes is transferred to the next preferred candidate, according to a transfer value calculated by dividing the successful candidateâs number of surplus first preference votes by the candidateâs total number of first preference votes. The votes of the candidate with the largest surplus are transferred first and from then on according to the size of the surplus. When a transfer raises a candidate up to a quota, that transfer is completed, and no further transfers are made to that candidate. When all candidates receiving a quota have been elected and all candidates receiving a quota by means of transferred surplus votes have been elected, any remaining vacancies are filled by progressive exclusion of candidates, from the candidate

with the fewest votes upward and by transfer of their votes with the value determined according to whether they are first preference or transferred votes. This is done until a quota is gained. Failing this, the vacancy is filled by the candidate with the largest number of votes.
The order of election of Senators is determined by the order of the count or transfer at which they were elected. Candidates elected on first preference votes are taken to be the earliest elected, and the order is then determined by the relative number of votes received. In the case of a double dissolution, the order of election determines the length of a Senatorâs term. Section 13 of the Constitution provides that after a double dissolution the Senate shall divide itself into long and short term Senators. Section 282 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 provides for a recount of Senate votes as if the election had been for half the Senate, to determine the order of election. However the Senate chose not to use this provision after the 1987 double dissolution and used instead the order of election prior to the recount.
The group ticket voting system for Senate elections, which was first used in the 1984 election, allows a party, group, or incumbent ungrouped Senator to register a ticket with the Australian Electoral Officer for the State or Territory, setting out the order of preference for all candidates in the election that they wish electors to follow. When such a ticket has been lodged for a Senate election, a poster showing these tickets must be displayed prominently in each polling place. A square is printed above the groupâs name on the top half of the ballot paper. Electors may choose to follow this order of preference by marking that square with the number one, and the preferences will be distributed accordingly. Up to three such tickets may be lodged by a group or incumbent Senator and preferences will be divided equally between the tickets. This procedure is known as above or below the line voting.
Below the line voting is the alternative method of voting in Senate elections. Electors may choose this by completing the lower half of the ballot paper. Electors must express an order of preference for each and every candidate. Ungrouped Senate candidates are not permitted a group voting ticket on the Senate ballot paper and thus appear only below the line. Party names may be listed on election ballot papers. The order of positions on the ballot papers has been determined by lot since 1940 for Senate elections. Since 1983, the registered political identification of registered political parties or registered independents may be printed adjacent to the names of the candidates on the ballot paper.
The following section presents a summary of the 1998 Senate election results for Australia, followed by separate State and Territory results arranged according to the order of the candidates on the ballot paper. The percentages shown beside the votes received by each party or candidate represent the votes received as a percentage of formal votes.

House of Representatives Election Results 1998
Until 1918 the House of Representatives was elected by a âfirst-past-the-postâ voting system in which the candidate with the highest vote was elected. Since then preferential voting has been employed, whereby a candidate must obtain an absolute majority of votes before being elected. If a candidate receives more than half the formal first preference votes on the first count, he or she is declared elected. If no candidate has an absolute majority, preferences are distributed. The candidate with the lowest total is excluded and the second preferences on those ballot papers are distributed to the other candidates. This process of exclusion and preference distribution continues until one candidate has an absolute majority of votes, and is therefore declared elected. Voting is fully preferential. Section 240 (2) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 requires preferences to be consecutive numbers, without the repetition of any numbers. Since 1983 party names have been printed on the House of Representatives ballot papers. The first part of this section sets out the results of the 1998 general election for Australia, and then by each State and Territory. In the second part, candidate details for each electoral division are provided.
Changes to the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 in 1983 gave the Australian Electoral Commission the authority to undertake a count of ballot papers for information purposes. This provision enables a full count of second and subsequent preference votes to be undertaken in all divisions. The results of the first and final counts are shown in all divisions. The percentages shown beside the votes received by each party represent the votes received as a percentage of formal votes. Percentages shown beside âFormalâ and âInformalâ represent formal and informal votes as a percentage of total votes. Percentages shown beside âTotalâ represent total votes as a percentage of electors enrolled.
