Infobox Candidates

Is there an established rule for what it takes for a candidate to be in the Infobox?

The box can support many.

Precedent is to at least have two parties as 2CP.

2CP is not always right on the day. i.e. VEC incorrectly predicted the 2CP for Albert Park, Brighton, Melton, Point Cook, and Werribee in 2022.

On the Wiki page for 2014, 2018, 2022 VIC Elections, there is a 3-way Infobox for Lib, Lab, Greens

I have heard 10% at a previous election being a threshold to get to the infobox?

4% is the magic number for VEC/AEC funding.

Are we oliged to present a broad spectrum of Left-Right options? (i.e. Lab, Ind, Lib, Green)

Do we just include all candidates in the Infobox and let the voters sort it out?

I saw similar arguments for Warrandyte - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:2023_Warrandyte_state_by-election

So what are we going to do.

We could decided that before the election takes place the top 3 (or possibly more) candidates who have nominated get to the infobox, decided by how they (or their party) ranked in the last election. With that once everyone nominates it'd be Labor, Ian Cook, Liberal in the infobox.

We could also decide that any candidate or party who got more than 4% of the vote in the previous election gets in in the infobox (Labor, Ian Cook, Liberal, Green).

Once the election has happened then whichever option we decide is then based on the results of this election.

I personally prefer that every candidate/party who got more than 4% in the previous election will get in the infobox. (Labor, Ian Cook, Liberal, Green)

I am leaning towards Labor, Cook, Liberal, Green as well.

I'm leaning towards top 4 from previous Mulgrave election, Labor, Liberal, Ian Cook + next next highest (once confirmed) ––– GMH MELBOURNE TALK 14:32, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The current guideline for Australian elections is parties which received more than 10% of the vote and parties which reached the two-party/candidate-preferred, if they are contesting the election. There is no obligation to include parties based on ideological considerations or regarding public campaign funding. Onetwothreeip (talk) 23:47, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-== Add how to vote card Table (Suggestion) ==
-This election has How to vote card and preferences publicly listed. Could be interesting to add them as a table? Similar to this: https://twitter.com/Maggie_Perry6/status/1722407663634715028 [[User:Shcmilly|Shcmilly]] ([[User talk:Shcmilly|talk]]) 04:09, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
