The 2016 Australian federal election was an election held on Saturday 2 July to elect all 226 members of the 45th Parliament of Australia. It lasted eight weeks. It was the first under a new voting system for the Senate that replaced group voting tickets with optional preferential voting.[2] Incumbent Malcolm Turnbull was narrowly re-elected by forming a coalition government with other smaller parties.
