Papua New Guinea’s 2007 general election offered the first nationwide test of the new limited preferential voting (LPV) system, which replaced the firstpast-the-post system, under which all previous post-independence elections had been conducted. In this chapter we make some observations about recent electoral reform in Papua New Guinea, particularly the impact of reforms on the Organic Law on National and Local-level Government Elections, which saw the introduction of LPV after the 2002 election. The chapter seeks to explore the extent to which electoral system reform, in particular the introduction of LPV, has influenced the conduct of elections and political culture in the Southern Highlands. The chapter draws on the reports of domestic observers in the Koroba-Lake Kopiago and Kagua-Erave open electorates and Southern Highlands provincial electorate (Figure 20.1) as part of the 2007 Domestic Observation (see chapter 5). It finds that although the 2007 election was considerably less violent than other recent elections, contestation has not diminished, as evidenced by the widespread fraud and malpractice witnessed.
