Prior to the 1965 election, the Council was limited by property franchise with a minimum age of 30 years and a longer residential period being required. As Legislative Council enrolment was voluntary, in order to vote in both and provided one met the conditions, one needed to register on the Council roll as well as the general roll. Elections were held every two years in April or May, and the ten provinces each had three members.
The passage of the Constitution Acts Amendment Act (No 2) 1963 (No.72 of 1963) and the Electoral Act Amendment Act 1964 (No.33 of 1964) resulted in the franchise being equal and voting being compulsory in both Houses, with elections to be held on the same date as that of the
Legislative Assembly, effectively extending terms to three years. The amendments also increased the number of provinces to 15, with two members for each, one retiring each election.
From the 1989 election onwards, under the Acts Amendment (Electoral Reform) Act 1987 (No.40 of 1987, effective 30 October 1987), the provinces were abolished and replaced by six multi-member regions whose members would be elected by a system of proportional representation and whose terms would all expire at each election. The legislation also established a permanent Election Commissioner.
