All ballots replicated on this website are genuine, formal Senate ballots cast by real voters at the 2025 Australian Federal Election. This website is only possible because all Senate ballots are data entered, and that data entry is published.

Some ballots on this website will, in spite of instructions to the contrary, contain fewer than 6 numbered boxes above or 12 below the line, or contain numbers both above and below the line. Under sections 268A and 269 of the Commonwealth Electoral Act, a vote is considered formal if it contains a 1 above or 1-6 below the line. Section 269(2) continues by saying that for a vote that would be formal both above and below the line, only the below the line numbering counts.

Party names are taken directly from the list of candidates published by the AEC and may not perfectly reflect what was printed on physical ballot papers. Similarly, not all parties had their logo printed on ballot papers. I've made my best guess as to which did.

If you're viewing this website on a phone or tablet, it's probably going to load really zoomed out. The alternative was not letting you zoom out at all. #webdev
