1. Research the options
Click on a candidate or party name to find out more information about them. We have included web site links and additional information about our Green Light parties and candidates.
The information below shows candidates and parties grouped first by traffic light, then listed in alphabetical order.
We are party neutral. Positioning in the list does not infer any candidate or party is superior or inferior to another within each group.
2. Record your choices
The How-to-Vote guide lists candidates running for both the division of Hotham in the House of Representatives, and in the Senate Victoria printable onto one A4 page.

Best-guess estimates may occasionally be inserted where AEC data is lacking. We will do our best to update information where possible.
Hotham Candidate Assessments
GREEN LIGHT CANDIDATE
Green light candidates have been rigorously assessed as absolutely committed to real action on the climate emergency. Number these first when you vote.
ORANGE LIGHT CANDIDATE
Orange light candidates are preferable to red but have some question marks over their climate policy or party voting record. When you vote, number them after the green light candidates.
RED LIGHT CANDIDATES
Red light candidates are a dangerous choice if Australians want real action on the climate emergency. Number these after the green and orange candidates.
Assessed: 6/6
We recommend voting for individual candidates rather than parties in the House of Representatives. Click here to find out more about the role of the House of Representatives in Australia.
Senate Victoria Party Assessments
In the senate we recommend you simplify the voting process by voting “Above the Line”. When you vote “Above the Line” you will number parties rather than candidates on your ballot paper. Click here to find out more about the role of the Senate and seat distribution.
