Found a good source for minor candidates

Can anyone be bothered adding them and their parties? I really don't have the enthusiasm at the moment... Timeshift (talk) 06:21, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on it. Frickeg (talk) 06:26, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lower House done. Haven't done upper house yet as don't have time. Frickeg (talk) 06:34, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers. Timeshift (talk) 11:57, 3 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

LC done too. We need to keep an eye on who's running on a ticket and who's running ungrouped, though, because of SA's rather bizarre LC system. Frickeg (talk) 00:09, 4 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Candidates for the Legislative Council

There are no Labor candidates listed in the Legislative Council yet. I note that Labor SA also aren't listing them on their website. Seems a bit strange.

But my calculations show me that the sitting candidates, at least, who are up for re-election would be:

Bernard Finnigan
Paul Holloway
John Gazzola
Gail Gago

If someone wants to list them on the main page and has a suitable way of doing it, go ahead. Thought I'd just list them here for now as it wouldn't really be a complete (and confirmed) list.

But we don't know the order, we don't have any source, so we can't do it just because we presume it'll be the case unfortunately. Timeshift (talk) 01:03, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi all just had a glance at the ALP website and they seem to have listed their LC ticket now, if someone has a chance might be worth checking out and adding. (Runger 999 (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2010 (UTC))[reply]

No, unfortunately it's just a list of current MLCs (minus Carmel Zollo, for some reason), and one candidate, with no discrimination between who's up for election and what order they're in. I did exactly the same thing when I first saw it, though. Frickeg (talk) 22:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The ballot has been drawn by the Electoral Commision today, as a result i have added the listed ALP Canditates to this artical... If we think its nessesary someone can add the more groups to the list...for the full ballot follow this link http://www.abc.net.au/elections/sa/2010/guide/lc.htm Runger 999 (talk) 14:01, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Antony Green - comprehensive lower and upper house candidates now available

Lower and upper. Thanks to Runger above. Is anyone interested in going through and adding what's not there? Timeshift (talk) 21:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

All done. If by chance i did miss anything please let me know. With regards to the Upper House, do we think we should list all parties and candidates as they will appear on the ticket. Grouped A through to AI? Runger 999 (talk) 07:21, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I believe so. Timeshift (talk) 09:25, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Only if they have more than one candidate. The other candidates can all go in one section. And they certainly shouldn't be in order of A through AI. We do it roughly by order of significance of the party. Frickeg (talk) 22:07, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We do? I thought we did it in ballot order? Timeshift (talk) 00:34, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. See here, or here. Similar to the decision a while ago to have results listed in order of votes received. It's much easier if the Labor and Coalition candidates come first, and then the rest of the parties that hold seats. Frickeg (talk) 02:23, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Upper House has now been done. Let me know if I've missed anything Runger 999 (talk) 05:46, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

D4D candidate critically ill

Article. Paul Collier suffered a brain haemorrhage March 6 and is unlikely to recover. Timeshift (talk) 12:16, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
