Why do you need the phrase "in addition to the preferences that s/he actually did vote"?

To me, the inclusion of this phrase implies that there are some preferences marked that are not
sincere, ie that do not meet either of the two criteria expressed in the first 30 words.  I do not
think that is what you intended, but that's how it reads to me.
