Coming soon: election tipping competition

Bryan · Sunday 18 February 2007 · 10:04 pm

I am currently working on an election tipping competition that will feature shortly on the blog. For lower house elections, you will be able to test your psephological skills in picking the party that will form government and the number of seats they will win. For upper house elections, you will be able to identify how many seats each of the major party groupings will win in the election. The winner will be the first person in with the closest guess. I will only allow one pick per punter, but you will be able to change your pick over time.

I expect the first competitions will be:

  • NSW Legislative Assembly — March 24
  • NSW Legislative Council — March 24
  • Commonwealth of Australian House of Representatives — late 2007
  • Commonwealth of Australia Senate — late 2007

Unfortunately, there will be no prizes beyond the glory of being the best election picker on the internet.

Anyway, as I finalise development of this new feature I am asking you, my dear readers, if there are any specific features you would like to see in an election tipping competition.
