Some legal language for using my suggested head to head methods for electing legislative bodies and executive/ judicial officers. A. Each voter may vote YES or NO for each candidate and may number vote (1, 2, etc.) for his/her first, second, etc. choices. B. For legislative bodies electing N persons in each district- 1. Each set of N candidates shall be compared against each other candidate using the number votes. 2. The lowest numbered vote on each ballot of the other candidates not involved in a comparison shall be transferred to one of the N candidates or the other candidate in a comparison. 3. If a candidate when in each of his/her group of N candidates gets more votes than the other candidate, then such candidate shall be elected. 4. If a candidate when in each of his/her group of N candidates gets less votes than the other candidate, then such candidate shall lose. 5. If there are remaining positions to be filled, then the remaining candidate having the lowest number of YES votes shall lose and the comparisons math shall be rechecked. 6. A lottery shall be used in case of ties. 7. Each elected candidate shall have a voting power in the legislative body equal to the number of votes he/she finally receives. C. For electing N executive and judicial officers- 1. If no candidate gets a YES votes majority of all of the voters or less than than N candidates get YES majorities of all of the voters, then the legislative body shall fill the vacancy or vacancies (if no other method is provided). 2. If N candidates get YES votes majorities of all of the voters, then he/she/they shall be elected. 3. If more than N candidates get YES votes majorities of all of the voters, then each set of N candidates shall be compared against each other candidate using the number votes. 4. The N lowest numbered votes on each ballot for the N candidates or the other candidate shall be summed. 5. If a candidate when in each of his/her group of N candidates gets more votes than the other candidate, then such candidate shall be elected. 6. If a candidate when in each of his/her group of N candidates gets less votes than the other candidate, then such candidate shall lose. 7. If there are remaining positions to be filled, then the Nth numbered YES votes on all ballots shall be dropped. 8. If any candidate then does not have a YES votes majority, then he/she/they shall lose, provided, if the remaining number of candidates is less than the number remaining to be elected, then, instead of step 7, the candidate having the lowest number of YES votes shall lose and the comparisons math shall be rechecked. 9. The preceding shall be repeated, if necessary, for the Nth minus 1, Nth minus 2, etc. numbered YES votes. 10. A lottery shall be used in case of ties. Computer voting systems would generally be needed to do the various comparisons. Theory- With N candidates to be elected there are sets of N candidates versus one candidate with the other candidates as assumed losers. The votes for the assumed losers are transferred to one candidate (for legislative body elections) or N candidates (for electing N executive or judicial officers). Simpler (but less accurate) versions use IRO for legislative body elections and Approval Voting for executive/ judicial elections.
