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 Williamstown District (How to turbo-charge your vote!)
Williamstown is a Red Light electorate held by the Labor Party. We strongly advise to you preference the Labor candidate last. You have three other Green Light candidates to vote for. We have not completed our assessments for Williamstown yet. Nevertheless we expect that, fortunately, one those three will be an Outstanding Green Light candidate and a very worthy independent.
Strategic Preferencing in the Southern Metropolitan Region
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 the unhinged capacity to take a wrecking ball to the good influence of the Legislative Council.
To do this effectively you will need to fill in all the boxes either above the line or below the line.
