Yes, it is not possible with a majoritarian method, but supermajoritarian methods can work good! My first suggestion is a modified form of bucklin voting with 2/3 threshold. If no candidate reaches a double majority, a new election is held. If no candidate has 2/3 of the votes after add all preferences, bullet votes are proportionally completed. I dislike any undeterministic method, except for tie-braking ________________________________ Diego Santos
