I suspect this has more to do with the underlying nature of the issue being voted on than how the ballot was crafted. A divisive issue seems likely to create controversy whether the ballot involved is simple or complicated. But, point taken. Bdale signature.asc Description: PGP signature

The core strength of our voting system is that there are no spoiler options, and if I look back, the most controversial votes were those where there were only two options and where people had to pick a side.

We're in the middle of approaching what are I hopo two relatively uncontroversial referendums: * A proposal to update our voting process (which looks like it will have a couple of options on the ballot) * A proposal to have secret ballot votes as an option/requirement. No action was required to get some practice with referendums that hopefully will not be painful.
