The factors that determine the structure of the ballot paper for a state election are set out in the Electoral Act 2004.
The Act describes three ways that candidates can appear on a ballot paper: under the name of a registered party, as a group that is not a registered party, and ungrouped.
These options relate to the way candidates nominate. Names listed under the heading 'Group A' or 'Group B' etc., is afforded to candidates who are not a member of a registered party and whose nomination has been signed by at least 100 nominators.
There may be multiple candidates who arrange to appear together in the one 'group' column, even though they are not part of a registered party. For this election, we've seen candidates obtaining the required 100 signatures on their nomination and choosing to appear on their own under a 'group' heading, which is also a valid option.
In this way, the Act does give candidates some choices regarding how they appear on the ballot paper.
The reason why one group might be 'Group E' and another 'Group F' relates to the column order. In this example 'E' would be the fifth column and 'F' would be the sixth.
Candidates who appear under the 'ungrouped' heading have nominated with the support of 10 nominators.
