Tasmania will conduct a general election for the House of Assembly on March 23, 2024. The state is divided into five electoral divisions: Bass, Braddon, Clark, Franklin, and Lyons. Each division will now elect 7 members for a term of up to 4 years, a significant change from the previous 5 members per division. Voting is mandatory, and due to the increased number of members, voters must now number at least 7 boxes on their ballots to ensure your vote counts. This adjustment is crucial, as there will be more than 7 candidates on your ballot paper, and casting preferences for each candidate maximizes the value of your vote. To participate in the election, one had to be enrolled by February 21, 2024. . Early voting starts on March 4, 2024. Marking preferences from 1-7, starting with candidates who best align with your values and concerns to those who least represent them, ensures your vote's influence even if your top choice doesn't secure a seat. Preferences play a role in the redistribution of surplus votes, contributing to an accurate representation of your views. This process strengthens the democratic process, shaping the assembly to better reflect the perspectives of the electorate.
