A ballot with two candidates ranked 1 or no candidates ranked 1 is informal. A ballot with a 1 and two 2s is formal but exhausts as soon as the candidate marked 1 is elected or excluded.<br /><br />In Tasmania each vote must contain the numbers 1-5 each once and once only. Duplication or omission errors after 5 are OK; it exhausts at the point of the first error.

For example, if a voter marks '12' twice will the vote be coubted to preference 11 and then exhaust? Or is the whole ballot informal? <br /><br />And does it work the same way in Tas?
