On May 3 The Australians will go to opinion polls to vote in the first federal elections since 2022.

The results will be determined by the next Prime Minister, as well as the formation of Parliament in the country.

Australia is famous for a unique electoral system – and some of the strange polls. The vote is mandatory for all citizens over the age of 18, and the country uses preferential vote, Picking “sausage of democracy” It is the day of the custom.

Nearly 18 million people were recorded to vote in these elections – about 98 % of those qualified.

Unlike the first past, the mail system – used in the United Kingdom and most of the American states – which elects candidates based on those who obtained the largest number of votes in one statistics, regardless of whether they have obtained an absolute majority – categorized voters in Australia are the candidates according to preference.

If no candidate wins more than 50 % of the votes in the first balance, the votes will be redistributed from the least popular candidates, and this process is repeated until the majority is inhibited.

In the House of Representatives races, voters must define the preference down for each one candidate listed in the polling.

However, in the Senate races, voters only need to determine a certain number of preferences.

It is the party leader who receives most of the seats in the House of Representatives, who then becomes the Prime Minister. There is no separate driving poll.

All seats in the House of Representatives in Australia – that is 150 in these elections – will be ready to seize, as well as 40 out of 76 seats in the Senate.

Australia has two main parties: the Australian Labor Party and the conservative liberal national coalition.

One party needs to win at least 76 seats at home to form the majority government.

If you cannot do that, you should try to win support from the small parties or independent deputies.

In both governmental and federal elections, the share of voting for small parties and independents increases steadily in Australia for decades.

Which reached record levels in the 2022 federal elections, with One in three Australians who vote for candidates outside the two main parties.

The Labor Party formed the majority government after its victory in the 2022 elections, which led to the largest loss of the liberal party since its inception.

As is the case, the Labor Party has 78 seats in the House of Representatives, while the coalition has 57 seats, as small and independent parties divided the rest.

But with the cancellation of one house seat, if the Labor Party loses only two seats in these elections, it will be stripped of its majority in Parliament.

In order to form a government itself, the coalition needs to win 19 seats, probably, including many who lost it to independent candidates during the 2022 vote.

Anthony Albaniz, Prime Minister, has been the prime minister since the last elections, and a parliament from Parliament for nearly 30 years.

While he enjoyed a period of extensive popularity after reaching power in 2022, he was recently subjected to pressure due to his dealings with divisional issues such as housing, indigenous affairs, anti -Semitism and Islamic fear.

Albaniz faces a challenge by Peter Dateon, who became the president of the liberal national coalition after the defeat of 2022. He is competing for the first elections as an opposition leader.

Dutton is known as a strong governorate, and has years of experience in important ministerial governor – such as defense and home affairs – but she was sometimes controversial figure, especially in social issues.

Both voting and political messages about this year’s elections indicate that the cost of living is the largest concern for many voters.

Since the 2022 elections, inflation – which is now slowing – has been paid – the prices of daily necessities such as food and utilities, leaving many families that extend.

The dairy government has implemented a series of policies it says aims to provide relief, such as maintaining the cost of medications, providing tax cuts, energy discounts, and assisting rent to those qualified.

However, Australia has raised interest rates 12 times since Albanz was elected in May 2022 – something that is being done independently of the government but is seen in contrast to its economic administration – this has weakened additional pressure on borrowers and those who have real estate loans throughout the country.

The ability to afford housing will also be a major issue in this electoral cycle, with many Australian cities among the most expensive in the world for home buyers.

Historically, the Australians used to obtain a result and knowledge of who will form the government on the election night.

However, the Australian Elections Committee – the official body in charge of respecting votes manually – is the one that announces it.

Instead, AEC provides what is known as the “number of an indicator” throughout the day, that is, media commentators, election experts, sometimes even the parties and candidates themselves and then adopt their calls.

AEC does not officially announce a seat until it is confident that the result will not change based on the number of unjustified sounds, which may sometimes take days.
