Differences of sincerity definitions

I was assuming that all rank-balloting systems do not allow equal ranking

(except for the truncating of votes so that all the unnumbered candidates

are equal).  How would you allow equal rankings? Would it be; 1,1,3,3,5 or

1,1,2,2,3 or something else?  That could prove a little too complicated.

How many choices within each of the 3 (5) groups are equal (i.e. mixing 
Number Voting and partial Approval Voting) ???

With electronic voting all sorts of number/rating math is possible (but 
unlikely for a very large percentage of the voters ).
