Hi, Whatever is said about fairness of the voting Option A is strongly preferred. To minimize the chance of winning option A people should not marked it as preferred AND mark as preferred ALL Options B,C,D in whatever preference they want. In contrast, if people want Option A to win they shall simply marked it without taking care of other options. Best regards, Jerzy Pawlus P.S. Disclaimer: I do not express my opinion I only care about the the fairness of the voting system. On Wed, May 24, 2023 at 03:01:08PM +0200, Q Misell via members-discuss wrote:
Hi Gert,
The scenario you present is incomplete as you did not include second/third preference votes, however I will do my best to explain.
No options have a majority, even though option A has a plurality, so option B (the least popular) would be eliminated. Let's assume those voting for options B, C, and D do not want option A so their second preference votes would be allocated to C and D. 30% on A 33% on C 37% on D
Once again none has a majority so we eliminate option A, let's assume these are allocated equally. 48% on C 52% on D
Then option D wins.
I hope this helps.
