A voter has four candidates on a House ballot. What makes the vote formal?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: D. Numbering every box in order of preference, from 1 to 4
- Step 1: The House uses full preferential voting, so all boxes are numbered. Answer: Number all four boxes. Why not the others: A tick is used in other systems, a party name is not asked for, and two numbers leave boxes blank.
