Country ● History ● Organizations ● Citizens ● Prime Ministers (Presidents) ● Governments ● Senates ● Parties ● Military
Congress of Australia is sometimes referred to as the Senate of Australia, hence the elected officials are referred to as Senators instead of Congress members.
The Congressional/Senate elections take place on the 25th day of each month. Only the top 5 parties can make nominations for Congress candidates.
Until October 2008, Congressional/Senate Elections were held as part of the general elections which included both Presidential & Congressional Elections and they were held on the 1st of each month. Up to this point, citizens voted for the party list in a certain region, not the individual Congress candidates.
From October 2008 up to September 2012, citizens voted for an individual candidate on a party list in a certain region. As of September 2012, citizens vote for lists of party representatives instead of individual candidates which is valid for a whole country, not a certain region.
The first Congressional/Senate elections in Australia were held on eDay 11 (1 December 2007) when first ever general elections were held in the New World. Unfortunately, not a lot of data is known from this period and the first known results are from December 2008.
