SPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONSEEEEEEEEREEEED

e: Will it make it near-impossible for anything non-LDP-DL to win the Presidency? Maybe, but it'll calm my headaches.

[Electrum]

No.

This will mean we will have to hold another election. Wasting money and time, even though it can be done in one count under the current system with the exact same outcome.

I'm sorry, but this system is confusing as fuck when trying to count votes. FPTP is much easier.

Also, we should have presidential elections every two months and reduce the PM term back to one month like when we started out. It boosts activity.

It's really quite simple. You rank the candidates in order of preference. Whoever gets ranked 1 on your ballot initially gets your vote. If no one has a majority at that point, the candidate with the least number of votes is eliminated. The votes awarded to that candidate are redistributed according to who is the next preferred candidate on that ballot. If a ballot has no further ranked candidates, then it is removed from the count. The process is repeated until a candidate has a majority of the votes and they are declared the elected winner.

It's not that complicated, I've got a spreadsheet working it out for me.

I do know how AV works guys, but what I'm saying is that it is too complicated to count and I see no advantage over a two round system.

[Lykens]

Good thing you aren't an admin counting?

Saves time, turnout in the second round will be lower and from an IC perspective saves money.

Well fuck me for wanting to save them time. It might also mean they have time to update the OP in the applications thread once in a while.
