Australia's preferential voting system means you number all boxes in order of your preference, with "1" being your top choice, and then continuing in order until all candidates are numbered.
Each list below shows an example how-to-vote preference order that maximises the chance of that specific party winning.
ALP – Anika Wells
Greens – Melissa Stevens
Family First – Alan Denaro
Trumpet of Patriots – Joshua Morrison
One Nation – Michelle McKay
LNP – Kimberley Washington
Why? Preference from Greens typically flows to Labor. Putting conservative parties lower makes it less likely their preferences will knock ALP out in the count.
