Robson RotationOrdinarily all ballot papers are printed the same (that is with all of the candidate's names in a set order). If a person donkey votes they place one (and so on) from the top down. This gives a strong advantage to the candidates listed at the top. Robson Rotation is the method of printing multiple ballots, with each having the candidates listed in a different order. The name at the top of the ballot is changed for each type of ballot paper. Using Robson Rotation the number of distinct permutations of candidates names used on the ballot paper is increased. This system helps eliminates the advantage given to a candidate by a donkey voter. This system was first introduced in Tasmania by Neil Robson, a Liberal MHA for Bass. sources: http://www.prsa.org.au/viclc/submission/sub/node15.html http://home.vicnet.net.au/~prsa/history/tasearob.htm
