Elections

General Information:

Since this is a simulator of the Australia Government system, we have two houses where debates on legislation and voting on them actually take place. 

There are two houses in AustraliaSim:

The House of Representatives:

The Senate

There are two types of elections to get into government:

General Elections

By-Elections

Usually candidates for either of these elections run under a party, but there are also independents in parliament as well.

The elections in this simulator are also simulated with virtual voters. These virtual voters are influenced towards or against your party by 'modifiers'. They're called this because they modify your vote to be more in your favour. More on modifiers in the Modifier Guide section of this website.

Campaigning Information

Manifesto Posts

Endorsement Posts
