I wouldn't support such a thing for a public governmental election, because of the need for computer involvement. Public elections should be done with simple and readily verifiable processes - ie, pencil and paper. However I like the approach and I think it would work well for SPI. It would certainly be better than the current system. I would be happy to see Schulze STV adopted for SPI board elections. > The Schulze STV method is very complicated because I try to create a > multi-winner election method that minimizes all known strategic > problems simultaneously. Quite. Is there any software which implements this method already ? I would be happy to write some. Is there a standard format for STV preference ballot input data ?
