This change aims to simplify the voting process, potentially increasing voter turnout by making it less confusing, especially for those who find the current full preferential voting system complex. The article highlights debates around this change, with some political parties and analysts arguing that OPV could lead to less strategic voting and might disadvantage smaller parties or independents who rely on preference flows.
