2016 Federal Election Review

The Electoral Reform Society of South Australia was pleased with the recent changes to the method of electing the Senate, particularly getting rid of voting tickets and allowing some degree of optional preferential voting.

There are still aspects that the Society would like to see changed, including:

  • removing the line on the Senate ballot paper
  • with the introduction of optional preferential voting there need to be changes to accommodate the resultant increase in exhausted votes.
  • introducing the Robson rotation.
