Secondly, it introduces the system known as Robson Rotation for House of Assembly electoral ballot papers.

Thirdly, the bill introduces a system of optional preferential voting for the Legislative Council; and

Fourthly, the bill bans political parties from being involved in the collection of postal voting information.
