Part IV of Chapter 1 of the Australian Constitution briefly deals with eligibility for voting and election to the federal Australian Parliament. It does not prescribe how elections should be conducted. Election campaigns and associated political advertisements have some regulation. Public election funding and party registration was introduced in 1983.
Voting is almost entirely conducted by paper ballot and is compulsory for adults. The informal vote is not usually significant, but a donkey vote is more common. They may, however, have a deciding impact in marginal seats.
Despite winning almost 51 percent of the two-party-preferred vote and regaining much of what it had lost in its severe defeat of two years earlier, Labor fell short of forming government. The government was re-elected with 49.02% of the two-party-preferred vote, compared to 50.98% for the Australian Labor Party, the largest difference of six election results where the winner did not gain a two-party preferred majority, since 2PP results first estimated from 1937.
The proclamation dissolving the House of Representatives and formally beginning the election period, had been issued by the Governor-General, Quentin Bryce, on 5 August 2013. The writs of election were subsequently issued by Bryce for the election of members of the House of Representatives and the state governors for the senators for each state.

1990 Federal Election Night Count (1/3) - March 24, 1990
Commercial television coverage of the 1990 Australian federal election, Bob Hawke's fourth and final election victory for the ALP. The coverage switches from Channel 7 to 9 and alternates with commercial breaks. Remember, we didn't have digital recorders back then and Channel 10 was always snowy where I lived.

The Australian Election of 1963: (S. 2, Ep. 10, All Australian Elections)
This video gives a brief overview of the 25th federal Australian election.
After 10 episodes we are FINALLY at the end of the Menzies era. In this election the Coalition would attempt to find away out of the squeeze the 1961 election had put them in. This election would involve playing sum brutal politics which would destroying the reputation of a party and seriously weaken them for the rest of the 60's.
All Australian Elections is a informative series that is meant to give an entertaining overview of the history of Australian politics by looking into each federal election from 1901 to today. Mistakes are likely present in these videos and I DO NOT recommend the use of these videos for any non-fictional works and recommend people look to the original sources.
