Below is a mock up of a Traffic Light Voting Guide for the Victorian Upper House in the NORTHERN METROPOLITAN REGION. The actual guide for voters will not be published until after the ballot draw on Tuesday November 10th.
Voting Traffic Light in the 2026 Victorian State Election
You will receive two ballot papers to vote for your preferred candidates in the Victorian House of Assembly and the Victorian Legislative Council .
To vote Traffic Light, vote for all the Green Light candidates or parties first, then the Orange Light ones. Number the red light candidates last.
Red light candidates are threat to achieving a fair future for us all not just in relation to Climate Rescue, but also a range of social issues most of us are concerned about. The order you number the Red Light candidates will have a significant effect on creating a good outcome at this election. We describe this advice as Strategic Preferencing. Strategic Preferencing combined with your Traffic Light Voting Guide will turbo charge the effectiveness of your vote in Red Light electorates.
Strategic Preferencing in the Preston District (How to turbo-charge your vote!)
Preston is a Red Light electorate. We strongly urge you to vote Labor last, One Nation second last and the Libs third last. Nevertheless we anticipate you will have at least three Green Light candidates to vote for before the rest of the pack in your House Assembly ballot.
Strategic Preferencing in the Northern Metropolitan Region
Your Legislative Council ballot vote could be pivotal to the election of the fourth of fifth representative.
Whether you vote below, or above the line, number One Nation or their candidates stone motherless last. The divisiveness promoted by this party will tear us apart. Your vote can help to exclude them from minority government and preserve our capacity to restore social cohesion. They have an unhinged madness which will take a wrecking ball to the good influence of the Legislative Council on Government decision making.
To make certain that there is no chance that your ballot will be exhausted before the fifth candidate is decided we suggest you fill in all the boxes either above the line or below the line.
We repeat… number One Nation or their candidates last!
Outstanding Green Light Candidates

Im proud to call Preston home.
I love our market, our cultural diversity, our parks and playgrounds and all the amazing local things we have to offer in Preston and Reservoir.
I care a lot about our community and want to fight for what matters to you!
I think it’s time for change and having an independent as a local MP means I’ll put your interests above all else. Without a political party, when it comes to making decisions, the only thing that matters is you – the people.
With the current cost of living crisis, it’s becoming so hard to make ends meet. Our government has become detached from the struggles facing everyday people. They are not being held accountable and are not transparent with their decisions.
I’m here to change that. It’s time we voted for someone who can put the community over party politics.

Traffic Light Voting Guide Assessment
Thanks for sending this through.
Of course, agree with everything you are saying.
My response is:
1. If I am elected to the next Victorian Parliament, I will support real action on issues relating to the ecological and climate emergency.
2. I support the application of the 3Rs and the Climate Rescue Accord to inform, when relevant, my position and advocacy on legislation and policy.
Apologies for not taking the time to provide a more indepth response – as an independent and limited resources, I’m focused on reading on these issues for an upcoming panel discussion!
