Two quick updates on extra material I’ve published on the ABC election site.
First, I’ve published a Legislative Council Voting guide explaining above and below the line voting and the pitfalls created by Victoria still using group voting tickets.
The guide includes links to the pdf GVTs I listed in my previous post, but also a link to a web version of each region’s GVTs which is more accessible on mobile devides.
The guide also includes a link to the Legislative Council Calculators, one calculator for each region. The calculators let you enter percentage votes for each group, and then apply the GVTs to predict who will win.
I hope you find them informative.
Have fun.
Thanks Anthony. I find the calculators a great indicative tool. Any reason why they are down at the moment?
COMMENT: The calculators have been pumping out results without problems but there seems to have been some intermittent problem with the version where people type in their own numbers. They have worked every time I try and use them.
