Where voters individually number candidates on the ballot paper in their own preferred order, rather than voting for a party group appearing "above the line". Below the line voting gives the voter complete control over preference distribution but requires more effort, as Senate ballot papers can list dozens of candidates. Since 2016, voters need only number at least 12 individual candidates below the line for their vote to be formal in Senate elections.  Votality fully supports "below the line" voting, as it better ensures that voters, rather than parties, select their representatives.
