News Corp Australia has today announced it will launch a new election tipping competition, named SuperVoter from Saturday, 23 April 2022. You can suss it out HERE.
The competition is supposedly “Fun, free and easy to play”. It involves election tipsters pitting their skills against each other by picking the winner of each of the 151 seats contested in the upcoming 2022 Federal Election.
The SuperVoter website will include the results of the 2019 election and the margins by which the seats are held to help with picking the winners.
To you average layperson tipster, picking all 151 seats sounds kind of daunting. That said, it may only be 30 electorates that are really in play to decide the election.
SuperVoter will run on all of News Corp Australia’s state-based and regional titles, as well as news.com.au and The Australian.
“Our SuperCoach franchise is the largest fantasy sports game of its type in the country, and now for political pundits and current affairs followers we’re launching SuperVoter,” said News Corp Australia managing director – consumer, Mark Reinke.
“We’re really excited to launch this innovative new game and invite our audiences to challenge themselves and play.
“SuperVoter offers a new way for all voters to consider federal politics in the lead up to 21 May and it will provide a different angle on the sentiment of Australians towards the election outcome.”
These political punters will have until election eve on 20 May, 2022 to lock in their choices, allowing them to keep a close eye on the campaign and which candidates rise to the occasion and which ones falter along the way.
Entries will be time-stamped and the first person to pick all 151 winning seats, or the highest number of correct seats, will be declared the winner.
Players are in the running to be named Australia’s first SuperVoter, winning bragging rights and the coveted SuperVoter Golden Sausage trophy.
