Source: https://ballotbae.app · Last updated 2026-11-01 · Independent and non-partisan · Not voting advice.
Stances: SUPPORTS / OPPOSES / MIXED are recorded only when a party has said so in writing. "Doesn't mention" means nothing was found in its 2026 material.

## Voting
- Enrolment closes: 8pm, Tuesday 3 November
- Candidate nominations close: 12 noon, Monday 9 November

- Lower house (Legislative Assembly, small ballot paper): number every box in your order of preference, starting with 1.
- Upper house (Legislative Council, large ballot paper): either number at least 5 boxes above the line (for parties or groups), or at least 5 boxes below the line (for individual candidates). Don't do both.
- Use numbers only. No ticks or crosses.
