Voting systems vary slightly across the states and for the federal election - but you can ALWAYS choose your own preferences.

Even if a major party has a 'how to vote' (HTV) card recommending how you order the candidates - you do not have to follow their recommendation. It is and should always be YOUR choice.

SAP's preference

As an independent community movement, after you Vote 1 for Sustainable Australia Party, we ask that YOU decide where to direct your own preferences.

At SAP, we generally do not even suggest other parties to preference.

For example, see our 2022 federal election HTV card below.
