Agreed -- assuming there is a clear winner none of this is an issue.
My rationale for saying we need to have 4 votes is to be sure that we
can go through 4 rounds and have everyone have a vote in each round.
If someone only put one preference and that is eliminated, there are
fewer votes to tally for the next round.
But i really don't care -- go ahead and vote for as many or as few as
you like... with instant run off it should not matter (however if you
vote for too few and they are eliminated early you no longer have a
vote)

I agree. I don't see why there needs to be a minimum or maximum
number of logos to rank per vote.

Doesn't limiting to top 4 defeat the purpose of using STV to overcome
splitting-the-vote?
Seems like we should rank the whole list (or all that an individual
finds acceptable)

This thread is for solr committers to list the top 4 logos
preferences from
the community logo contest. As a guide, we should look at:

The winner will be tabulated using "instant runoff voting" -- if
this
happens to result in a tie, the winner will be picked by the 'Single
transferable vote'

To cast a valid vote, you *must* include 4 options.
