Resource: Preferential Voting

Description

The Running A Class Election activity uses preferential voting because this system of counting votes is used in Australian federal and state elections. Many voters find preferential voting potentially confusing – this resource, especially when used with the Running A Class Election activity, will help students to understand how the system works from the inside.

This resource is designed to complement the Running A Class Election activity and aligns with Year 4, 5 and 6 Australian Curriculum History, Civics and Citizenship and HASS.
