Robson rotation
Robson rotation is an Australian term for the practice of rotating the order of candidates' names during the printing of the ballot papers for an election, so that the advantage of being listed at the top of the paper is spread equally among all candidates. Such an advantage is particularly strong in elections in Australia, because the combination of compulsory voting and the use of the single transferable vote system ("preferential voting") leads a number of politically apathetic voters to cast a "donkey vote", ranking the candidates in the order in which they are listed on the ballot paper.
