In simple terms, to vote in a constitutional monarchy government, there should be an election campaign called on a certain date usually 1 to 2 months prior to the specific date. The legal campaigners for a country election would usually be The Labor Government V The Liberal-Coalition Government. If it is a state election, legal campaigners would include leaders of each district of that state-these are fully represented by labor or liberal. After the round of voting is completed it will be counted and then announced. This will determine in a state election the full representation-either labor or liberal with the most seats in the lower house.

In Australia-there are two types of federal houses in government-the House of Representatives and the Senate.
