TASMANIAN HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY ELECTIONS - FRANKLIN, 1959
FIG. 4-B. SENATE-STYLE REGIMENTED VOTING WOULD HAVE CAUSED A LESS PROPORTIONAL, LESS FAIR RESULT.
THIS GRAPH SHOWS HOW, IF A SENATE-STYLE TICKET HAD BEEN FOLLOWED, THE ACTUAL RESULT OF 4-3 WOULD HAVE BEEN CHANGED TO 3-3-1 (LIB. AND ALP 3 SEATS EACH + 1 DLP)	Click here to compare to 4-A.
THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE CANDIDATES CONCERNED IS SET OUT BELOW, WITH THE VOTES ALLOCATED AS THEY WOULD BE IF SENATE-STYLE TICKETS HAD BEEN FOLLOWED:-	Quota = 4,014
(EACH COLUMN SHOWS THE NO. OF VOTES FOR THE RESPECTIVE CANDIDATES)
IN THE ACTUAL ELECTION, WHEN NUMBERED CARDS WERE NOT USED AND AS A RESULT THE VOTE WAS NOT REGIMENTED, THE DLP CANDIDATE BECOMES LOWEST IN VOTES AND IS EXCLUDED AS SEEN IN FIG. 4-A. HOWEVER, IF THE VOTE IS CONCENTRATED, AS NECESSARILY HAPPENS IF SENATE-STYLE TICKETS ARE USED, THE FIRST 2 LIB. CANDIDATES ARE ELECTED WITH FULL QUOTAS, AS SEEN ABOVE, THUS NECESSARILY LEAVING FEWER VOTES FOR THE 4TH. LIB. CANDIDATE, WHOSE VOTE FALLS BELOW THAT OF THE DLP CANDIDATE. THE LIB. CANDIDATE IS THEREFORE EXCLUDED, AND HIS PREFERENCES WOULD ELECT THE DLP CANDIDATE, PRODUCING A 3-3-1 OUTCOME. (SEE TEXT FOR FURTHER PARTICULARS AND FOR REASONS WHY A 4-3 DIVISION OF SEATS IS A MORE EQUITABLE REFLECTION OF THE POLLING THAN A 3-3-1 RESULT.)
