I was talking about just this over the weekend. I this the ballot may well
have been OK if it was expected. However, if it was not expected to be in
that form it could have jarred some voters a little. We had the same problem
in our 1st PR election a while back - voters just did not expect a different
form. Where they used to vote once from a choice of 5 parties, they then had
a choice of 15-20 and had to vote twice. Many were confused, I was bemused.
