What Is the Election Process in Australia?

One of the fundamental cornerstones of Australia’s democracy is the election of citizens to represent the nation’s people in local, state and federal governments.

This classroom poster clearly explains the steps that take place when a federal election is called.

The poster clearly outlines the following steps of the election cycle in Australia:

  1. The need for an election.
  2. The announcement of an election.
  3. The campaign trail.
  4. The events that take place on election day.
  5. The start of the new government.
