Assessing the Shift to Limited Preferential Voting in Papua New Guinea: Electoral Outcomes

Abstract

Given the strong likelihood of reforms that will affect the conduct of and preparations for the 2017 elections, a consideration of the 2002 reforms to OLNLLGE, which saw the introduction of Limited Preferential Voting (LPV), is timely. In this, the first in a series of In Briefs assessing the shift to LPV, the impact upon mandates and electoral outcomes is considered.
