> Many of these suggestions are related to more easily automate the system.
Right. If you approve of the principles of the legislation then that's all good. I look forward to hearing your suggestions to make it more easily automated - please post them here as and when you think of it.
> Finally, I would require specifically ALL ranks to be filled for the ballot to be valid. Otherwise, the vote might be lost !
I would oppose that. That's the system they have in Australia and I think it's too draconian - I prefer the Irish "optional preference" system. If people *want* their votes to be lost - if they *want* to put in a [1] preference and not anyone elses - then that should be up to then. I don't want anyone's votes invalidated on a technicality.
