About Beyond Two Parties SA

An independent resource helping South Australian voters discover alternatives to major parties and understand how their vote works.

Our Mission

Beyond Two Parties SA exists to help South Australian voters make informed choices in the 2026 State Election. We believe voters should have easy access to information about all candidates—not just the major parties who dominate media coverage.

Inform

Provide clear, accurate information about candidates, voting systems, and electoral processes in South Australia.

Educate

Help voters understand how preferential voting works so they can vote strategically without "wasting" their vote.

Empower

Give visibility to independent and minor party candidates who often lack the resources for widespread advertising.

Stay Neutral

Present information without endorsing any candidate or party. The choice is always yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who runs this website?

Beyond Two Parties SA is a volunteer community project. We are ordinary voters who believe in the importance of informed democratic participation and want to make electoral information more accessible.

How is this site funded?

This site is self-funded by volunteers. We do not accept donations from political parties, candidates, or lobby groups. We have no advertising and no commercial interests.

Why focus on independents and minor parties?

Major parties already have significant resources for voter outreach. Independent and minor party candidates often struggle to get visibility. We aim to level the playing field by helping voters discover all their options—while still providing information about major party candidates too.
