WHY ACF'S OLD, UNFAIR, MULTIPLE
FIRST-PAST-THE-POST SYSTEM WAS NOT USED AFTER 1973 |
|

|
Election Results for
the Australian Conservation Foundation Council: 1973 |
|
|
The year 1973 was the last time the ACF Council was elected by its old multiple first-past-the-post electoral system, which was the system abandoned for Senate polls in 1919. ACF's present quota-preferential proportional representation system, which is the counting system that has been used for Senate polls since 1948, replaced that at a 1974 postal ballot referendum of ACF members. See the link just below for why the old system was defective and replaced. |

Election Results for
the Australian Conservation Foundation Council: 2003 |

This was the election for the ACF Council held thirty years after ACF held its last Council election under the multiple first-past-the-post system in 1973, details of which appear at the link at the bottom of this page. Since then ACF has used a quota-preferential proportional representation system, results of which in 2003 for each of the ACF’s seven electoral districts are shown at the links below: |
