Federally, the Reps has always had compulsory preferential. Things are different at some state and council elections though. For example, in Queensland state elections it’s compulsory, but Council elections have optional preferential. It was an election promise by the LNP to change it to optional preferential in both state and council elections. Because optional preferential helps the LNP a huge amount, by causing some Greens and Labor voters to have their votes exhausted rather than going to the other.
