Senate voting reform is splitting Parliament House in two, with Labor and independent politicians engaging in a tit-for-tat spat with the government and minor parties on how members of the upper house are elected.

The Coalition on Monday introduced its long-mooted Commonwealth Electoral Amendment Bill, outlining a swag of changes to how Australians will vote on election day, including optional one-to-six preferential "above the line" voting on senate ballot papers and the abolition of group and individual group tickets.

Some independent senators have lamented the changes would make it near-impossible for non-major parties to be elected to the upper house, with Liberal Democrat senator David Leyonhjelm flagging the possibility minor parties could run in marginal Coalition and Greens seats to dilute votes as retaliation.
