While national elections in the Philippines occur every three and six years, Australia holds its federal elections every three years.
Key Points
- Federal elections in Australia take place every three years, differing from state and territory elections, which follow a four-year cycle.
- Despite differences in government systems, both the Philippines and Australia share a similarity in electing legislators for the Senate and House of Representatives.
- There have been calls to extend the federal term to four years, but according to a Newspoll survey in March, 51% support the idea, while 37% oppose it.
