Robson Rotation




Ordinarily all ballot papers in an election are printed the same, with the candidates' names in a set order. However, this can give a strong advantage to the candidates listed first, particularly in Compulsory Elections where apathetic voters may turn up to avoid a Fine and donkey vote.

This system was first introduced in Tasmania in 1980 by Neil Robson , a Liberal MHA for Bass .

It has since been adopted in the Australian Capital Territory .
