May a voter yote for one candidate only, in other words, “plump”?
Yes.
Is “‘plumping” or voting first choice only considered advantageous?

’ No. Suppose a voter marks only one choice: that voter has virtually
said to the Returning Officer “I am only interested in my No. 1
choice”. Upon distribution. of the low candidate’s ballots to the
remaining candidates, the ballot of a voter who voted one choice
only, cannot be further dealt with. It is, in other words, an
“exhausted ballot”. Such a voter simply deprives himself of full
participation in the contest.
