Preferential voting: Difference between revisions

In Australia, election for the upper houses which use proportional representation as well as preferential voting, it may be daunting to have to fill in 70 boxes - preferences are compulsory. To ease this onerous task, "Above the line" voting, allows the voter to choose one party or group, and all the remaing squares are deemed to be filled in according to a registered party ticket.
