The way Tasmanians put their MPs into the Lower House is regarded as one of the fairest systems of Western democracy.
It's called the Hare-Clark electoral system, after Englishman Thomas Hare and Tasmanian Andrew Clark.
Clark took Hare's preferential voting system and added a quota calculation and refined how the preferences are distributed between candidates.
Clark, who served as Tasmania's Attorney-General in the late 1800s, introduced his idea to Tasmanian polls in 1896 but Tasmanian state elections have used Hare-Clark continuously since 1909.
The ACT has also adopted the system to elect members of its Legislative Assembly.
When the counting starts, you'll be hearing a lot about quotas, 16.7 per cent and preferences.
And while Hare-Clark is simple in name, it is complex in method and notoriously difficult to explain.
But we're going try to get the basics down.
And we promise to go easy on the jargon and keep it simple.
With a hearty dose of some good ol' Oz Rock.
Play the video to rock the House.
