This was the first election to use a modified electoral system, which had been introduced by the Assembly in 2005. Electors each have nine equal votes, which can be divided in any way between candidates, but no more than two votes could be given to any particular individual candidate. Previously, electors were able to give a single candidate up to four votes. This variation of cumulative voting is called "weighted first past the post".Change to voting system for March 21 election https://norfolkisland.gov.nf/sites/default/files/public/documents/NIAMediaReleases/2007/20070309%20-%20Change%20to%20voting%20system%20for%20March%2021%20election.pdf THE ADMINISTRATION OF NORFOLK ISLAND 2023-11-27 2022-07-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20220704124146/https://norfolkisland.gov.nf/sites/default/files/public/documents/NIAMediaReleases/2007/20070309%20-%20Change%20to%20voting%20system%20for%20March%2021%20election.pdf bot: unknown Drama takes a back seat for Norfolk poll https://www.smh.com.au/world/drama-takes-a-back-seat-for-norfolk-poll-20041023-gdjz4h.html Sydney Morning Herald Incumbent Chief Minister David Buffett, who had served in every Assembly since it was formed in 1979, lost his seat at the election.
