Comment on MP berates informal voters after dud ballot spike in NSW seat

Wait NSW uses first past the post in state and local elections?
A search later: it’s preferential, but optionally so. elections.nsw.gov.au/…/examples-of-ballot-papers
I dunno if I’m a fan of less than 5 preferences being mandatory.
We must resist first past the post voting at all costs.

Agreed. If there’s any confusion among voters, I reckon it’s largely due to NSW’s inconsistent optional-preferential ballots.

Yeah I agree, it’s definitely on NSW to reform, not everyone else…
