The point of this vote is to get the opinions of people who aren't neck-deep in the technical details. So you're absolutely qualified to vote. > **** > > ** ** > > If for some reason I can’t explain you really want my opinion on this, > then I would unfortunately have to ask two questions that were probably > answered earlier when I was paying attention to other things:**** > > ** ** > > How does the unnamed system work, and what are the naming choices again? > Here's the description of the unnamed system as Abd gave it: Count the votes at 1st Choice for each candidate. If a single candidate has a majority, this canditate wins. If not, add in lower choices, one at a time, until a candidate or candidates gains a majority. If two or more candidates reach a majority at a stage, then whichever candidate has the most votes above that stage wins. If this is 1st Choice, or if all the choices have been amalgamated, and no candidate has a majority, then the candidate with the most votes wins. The naming choices with significant support are (current voting tallies in parentheses, ordered JQ/AL/RB/AJ) Instant Runoff Approval Voting: (B/A/F/C) Descending Approval Threshold Voting: (A/B-/B/C) Majority Approval Voting: (A/?/C/A) Majority Support Voting: (B/?/C/A) Cumulative Approval Voting: (A/?/B/?) Cumulative Support Voting: (A/?/B/?) Assuming question marks as F's, DAT is currently leading, but I think the last two are promising. Jameson
