The Australian Electoral System provides the first-ever
comprehensive study of the design of Australian electoral systems.
It focuses on the two electoral systems, both 'preferential', that
are most closely associated with Australia: namely the alternative
vote and the single transferable vote. The book covers four main
themes. First, it traces the origins of Australia's electoral
systems, explaining how and why Australia ended up with such a
relatively unique arrangement. Second, it explores the range of
variation in the detail of how the various schemes operate -
variations which can have significant behavioural and electoral
consequences. Third, it uses aggregate and survey data to
systematically analyse the consequences of electoral system design.
Fourth, it examines voter reaction to these systems, both in
Australia and also cross-nationally.
