The next election for the ACT Legislative Assembly is due to be held in 2012.

The ACT employs the Hare-Clark proportional representation system to elect 17 members in 3 multi-member electorates. The electorates of Brindabella and Ginninderra each elect 5 members, and the electorate of Molonglo elects 7 members.

Each elector has a single vote, which can be transferred from candidate to candidate according to the preferences shown until all the vacancies are filled.

In general it is fair to say that the more preferences you express with your vote the more certain you can be it will have the effect that you want. We suggest you vote for the greens candidates first and then the others, individually, in the order of your choice.
