Reading a week-old Canberra Times and see the Cbr Libs have paid for (I assume??) advice that suggests campaigning as though the ACT has an entirely different electoral system. Very good!!
![Ms Hannam's review recommended Senate ticket-style preselections, which would set the order of preference for Liberal candidates and "eliminate the angst over how-to-tovte] cards".
While voters would
still vote for candidates in order of their preference, a ticket-style preselection would determine the order of priority for campaigning within the party.
"How-to-vote cards were a very big point of contention for this campaign. Each candidate having an individual HTV card where they could decide the order not only caused more division, but meant candidates took days out of the grassroots activities to speak with fellow candidates in order to secure a more competitive spot on HTVs," the review said.
"At a practical level on a booth, voters were often presented with five HTVs which led to voter confusion."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:rri2fbfpal2hj5bz7zwq3y6n/bafkreifemev2u3jvezp6mnu76qd66hqsij2cascq5g4dic45fqwpbooskm@jpeg)
