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. Senate Speaker was an active position until 2011, a role that one of the Congress members (Senators) held.
The Congressional/Senate elections take place on the 25th day of each month. Only the top 5 parties can nominate candidates for the elections.
Until October 2008, Congressional/Senate Elections were held as part of the general elections which included both Presidential (Prime Minister) & Congressional/Senate 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 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.
