| | Australian electoral system - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Voting is compulsory both at federal elections and at elections for the state and territory legislatures. | | | The territory Senators serve three-year terms, and are elected at each federal election. | | | In South Australia the 1856 Constitution stipulated that there must be two rural constituencies for every urban constituency, and this remained in force until 1968, by which time the urban-rural voter ratio was almost exactly reversed: that is, there were two urban voters for every rural voter. |

| | Australia has a written constitution which came into effect on 1 January 1901 as section 9 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, an Imperial Act of the United Kingdom (the Imperial Act). | | | Being a constitutional monarchy, the Head of State of Australia is Queen Elizabeth II of England. | | | However, the written constitution is not the only source for constitutional law in Australia: it is complemented by traditions, conventions and, last but not least, judicial precedents developed by the Australian Courts. |

| | The election result was even worse for the Democrats, who lost all three Senate positions they contested, leaving the party with just four sitting senators. | | | The election result was a personal triumph for John Howard who is now destined to become Australia's second-longest serving prime minister after Sir Robert Menzies. | | | The rout led to the resignation of a number of Labor frontbenchers including former leader Kim Beazley and the party's Senate leader John Faulkner. |

| | In the 1998 Queensland election, 11 One Nation state MPs were elected and in the 1998 federal election they won one Senate seat. | | | SYDNEY, Australia--Deepening political polarization is fracturing the support base of the conservative parties in Australia, leading to victories for the Labor Party in two state elections last month and another show of strength by the ultrarightist One Nation party. | | | Most elections here over the past two decades have been decided not by a candidate receiving a majority but through the system of preferential voting, where voters number candidates in order of preference. |
