Electors each have nine equal votes, which could be divided in any way between candidates, but no more than two votes could be given to any particular individual candidate. This variation of cumulative voting is called "weighted first past the post". Incumbent members Craig Anderson (Liberal), Mike King (Labor) and Andre Nobbs (independent) did not seek re-election in 2013. The Norfolk Island Labor Party − led by King − did not contest the election, however the Norfolk Liberals ran two candidates.Norfolk Island 'may lose self-government' https://www.smh.com.au/national/norfolk-island-may-lose-selfgovernment-20100512-uy9e.html Sydney Morning HeraldBankrupt former penal colony Norfolk Island battles to keep its autonomy https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/australasia/bankrupt-former-penal-colony-norfolk-island-battles-to-keep-its-autonomy-2124602.html The Independenthttp://www.norfolkonlinenews.com/NON-government-news.html NON Government News Norfolk Online News 2023-11-27 2013-07-21 https://web.archive.org/web/20130721070742/http://www.norfolkonlinenews.com/NON-government-news.html dead Results 15 candidates ran at the election.Results Lisle Snell (elected) Independent 869 9.93 Robin Adams (elected) Independent 781 8.93 Ronald Ward (elected) Independent 767 8.77 Timothy Sheridan (elected) Independent 744 8.50 Melissa Ward (elected) Independent 715 8.17 David Buffett (elected) Independent 709 8.10 Dave Porter (elected) Liberal NI 704 8.05 Ronald Nobbs (elected) Independent 647 7.40 Hadyn Evans (elected) Independent 636 7.27 John Kelly Independent 440 5.03 Fred Howe Independent 420 4.80 Rhonda Griffiths Independent 420 4.80 Neville Christian Independent 387 4.42 Terence Jope Independent 303 3.46 Ian Anderson Liberal NI 206 2.35 8,748 100.0 972 94.83 53 5.17 1,025 93.52 References Category:Elections in Norfolk Island Norfolk Category:March 2013 in Australia
