In Australia, voting is compulsory and genuinely independent agencies run the whole thing and make it as easy as possible for everyone to vote: timing, location, accessibility, language, methods. (One thing we do really well!)

Quite a thing to say to possible constituents and voters. But of course the Senator wants to replace the Labor party without the consent of the 70% of Australians who support arming the victim of imperialist aggression. Good luck!!

Thanks Chris, I figured this might be the case but was getting confused as I was indeed finding matches between them in my data set. Further question for you, do you know if there's a way to find out which LGA an address belonged to?

Today I’m starting something new with the Tally Room podcast: a three-part history podcast looking at the history of OPV in Australia, rolling out over the next 3 weeks. This first episode looks at early debates on preferential voting and how it worked up to 1951. www.tallyroom.com.au/68638
