Which of these options are you favorites? Rank up to 5 options:

You may also answer and discuss here, but only the votes in the link is counted for the purposes of this survey.

Why am I doing this? Because I missed the polls from [the website that shall not be named], so I wanted to experiment a bit here. And what better way to do polls than the best way! I hereby present you to the Ranked Choice Ballot! Ta-da! (Please go vote, I spent a lot of time on this)

Edit: If you don’t want to vote, here are the results from all the votes so far:

So if you were to choose the best system for multi-candidate voting that would work for most real-life elections or multiple-choice rankings, which one would it be?

Absolute best would be STAR.

A good runner-up would be Approval.

Came here to take a silly poll about drinks, came away with some actual interesting reading about better election methods. Thanks man. A shame this will never change in the US but one can dream…

Thanks for the links. I’ve heard of star, but approval is new to me. I’ll read up on those

Approval is super easy and can be used at small scale, and at large scale too.

But here it is in less than 2 minutes.

Doing it at large scale, is just scaling it up. And the great thing is, it easily handles as many options as you throw at it.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/l8XOZJkozfI

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
