| 1 | Independent candidates are grouped together on the far right hand edge of the ballot paper, without access to the popular “tick a box” system of voting (that is, the system of being able to select a single box representing a group of candidates, rather than having to number all of the many boxes corresponding to each of the candidates, as is normally required in full preferential voting). This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 2 | The question arises: why is such unfavorable treatment of independent candidates constitutional?12 What level of discrimination between candidates would the Court not permit? This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 3 | Given the secrecy of the ballot, this may be a difficult onus to discharge in the case of people alleged to have voted who should not (or vice versa).23 The opposing approach is that once contraventions capable of affecting the result are established, the fair elections ideal requires the respondent candidates to disprove any reasonable doubt over their election. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 4 | if candidates of a particular group attract more than 50 per cent of the popular vote” they will win more than 50% of the seats. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 5 | When quotas are this small, even micro parties can win seats, as the STV can become a lottery, depending on the order in which candidates happen to be excluded from the count and the preference deals they have done. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 6 | Compulsory preferential voting is a system where, to record a valid vote, the elector must express an order of preferences between all the candidates on offer. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 7 | Moreover, the traditional role of scrutineers, that is, those people nominated by candidates to watch the count to assist in ensuring a fair and accountable result, may need to be reconceived to adapt to changes in voting practices and the technology of the count. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 8 | PARTIES, candidates AND CAMPAIGNING Party pre-selections and the role of the electoral authorities Recently, allegations of “rorting” in party pre-selections have gained widespread attention. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 9 | (“Rorting” is an idiomatic term used to cover any self-serving malfeasance, whether illegal or not.) Pre-selections are party ballots, or other internal mechanisms, to determine a party’s official endorsement of candidates for public elections. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 10 | In the worst case, they could become embroiled in public, possibly litigious, disputation between factions and candidates vying for pre-selection. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 11 | That is, traditionally parties have been below the radar of electoral law because only candidates were formally elected. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 12 | It can of course remain as a private association, capable of endorsing candidates and buying electoral advertising. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 13 | But if de-registered, the DLP’s candidates will be denied benefits such as ballot labelling and lose control of Senate preferences, two key benefits that make minor party electoral activity meaningful. This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
| 14 | There are no caps on donations, although parties, candidates and donors are meant to disclose donations above certain thresholds, the typical figure being A$1500 (,US$900). This makes 2003 a good time to reflect and take stock of Australian electoral law. | Australian Electoral Law |
