ballot type: Introductory text: <p>Condorcet voting, in which ranked ballots are used to choose a universal pairwise winner if one exists, is one voting reform proposal which is generally agreed to be superior to Plurality/FPTP. However, perhaps it is not best promoted by naming it after a 19th-century French marquis. Which name do you think would be best for promoting Condorcet with the general US public?</p> <p>(Note: there are of course many distinct Condorcet-compliant systems. However, until there are more than 3 serious candidates, differences are minor or nonexistent. Therefore, for the purposes of this poll, we are considering the arguably-simplest and oldest Condorcet proposal, "minimax". Please vote accordingly. You are free to use the results of this poll to name another Condorcet system, but there are no guarantees as to appropriateness.)</p> <p>Rate the following choices. "10" for a most preferred choice, "-10" for a least preferred choice, and so on.

ballot type: Introductory text: <p>Bucklin voting is a system in which you may rate each candidate into one of various ranking categories. If any candidates have a majority of top rankings across all ballots, the one with the most wins. Otherwise, first- and second- place rankings are considered, then first-, second-, and third-place, until some candidate(s) have a majority.</p> <p>As with Condorcet, there are several variations within Bucklin voting. This poll applies to the simplest such variation, with equalities allowed and only 2+1 ranking levels: Preferred, Approved, and Unapproved. If no candidates have a majority of Preferred and more than one have a majority of Approved, the one with the most Preferred wins. If no candidates have a majority of Approved, the one with most Approved wins. Also, this poll is for branding inside the USA. Again, if another Bucklin variation is chosen, or for outside the USA, you may use these poll results, but do so advisedly.</p> Choices, one per line: Bucklin Voting American Preferential Voting (APV. This name was actually used in some cases where Bucklin was implemented in the Progressive era.) Approved/Preferred Voting (APV; same acronym as above) Majority Choice Approval (MCA) Expanding Approval Choice (EAC) Approval With Compromises (AWC) Fallback Approval Voting (FAV) Ranked Universal Majority (RUM voting) No-Elimination Majority (NEM voting) Number of write-in slots:	Bucklin voting is a system in which you may rate each candidate into one of various ranking categories.

ballot type: Introductory text: Range Voting is a system in which voters rate candidates - say, from 0 to 99. Scores are summed and the highest total score wins. This has been shown to give the best results for any given fixed level of voter strategy, although some say that some other systems could lead to less strategy and thus better results. Still, it's widely agreed to be far superior to Plurality/FPTP. Which is the best name for promoting Range voting? Choices, one per line: Range Voting (RV) Score Voting (SV) Raw Rating Summation (RRS) Number of write-in slots:	Range Voting is a system in which voters rate candidates - say, from 0 to 99.

ballot type: Introductory text: IRV is a voting system in which the lowest vote-getter is eliminated and non-exhausted votes are redistributed until some candidate has a majority of the remaining ballots.
