Members of the House of Assembly in Tasmania are elected using a system of proportional representation known as the single transferable vote.1

Under this constitutional framework, voting is mandatory for all citizens who are 18 years of age or older. This method of election allows for a diverse range of political representation, enabling smaller parties, such as the Greens, to secure a voice in the state parliament alongside the major political groupings.1
