Elections in Australia gives information on election and election results in Australia.

Australia elects on federal level a legislature. The Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia has two chambers. The House of Representatives has 150 members, elected for a three year term in single-seat constituencies with a system of alternative vote. The Senate has 76 members, elected through a preferential system in 12-seat state constituencies and two-seat territorial constituencies with a system of single non-transferable vote. The territorial senators are elected for a three year term. The state senators are elected for a six year term, with half of the seats renewed every three years. Australia has a two-party system, which means that there are two dominant political parties or coalitions, with extreme difficulty for anybody to achieve electoral success under the banner of any other party.
