Legislative AssemblyInformal voting Summary

Informal Voting

The percentage of informal votes increased by 0.08% in the Legislative Assembly in this election.

Ballot papers which are blank, do not show preferences in accordance with instructions and/or legislative requirements, or do not make the voter’s intention clear are classified as informal. A ballot paper will also be informal if the voter can be identified through a marking on it. Informal ballot papers do not contribute to the election of a candidate and are not included in calculating the quota or absolute majority required for election.

Blank ballot papers comprised 23.31% of the informal vote, and ballot papers which were scribbled on comprised 10.78%. The largest group of informal voters who attempted to register a vote were those who indicated a first preference only (32.66%).
