Crisafulli said he would also aim to change the full preferential voting system, which he labelled “corrupt”, back to optional preferential voting.

Under the current system, it is compulsory for voters to number all boxes on the ballot paper in order of their preference or their vote is not counted.

“Preferences should not be a thing in Queensland elections, and it won’t be if government changes,” he said.

Also, does he mean moving to optional preferential or going to a FPTP system? Frankly, fuck both ideas but FPTP would be the worst.

The same thing we have for council elections, optional preferential I am pretty sure.

What ever he is trying, looks to me he wants QLD to be like the USA, in more ways than one...
