[EM] Poll on voting-systems, to inform voters in upcoming enactment-elections

[Toby Pereira]

 Not that it's particularly relevant for a mailing list, but as an aside, I think easily the best voting method for an internet poll (which lots of forums' software allows for with just a few clicks required from the voters) is approval voting where the current result is visible at all times and people can change their vote until the end. It makes both the act of voting and strategy quite easy. If elections for public office could be done like this in a secure way, it would be my favourite method for them as well. Although to stop last minute shenanigans in serious elections, the end point might have to be non-deterministic. So you'd have the election open for e.g. a week and then it would randomly end with a half-life of e.g. an hour.

Okay. (Sorry for not getting to this earlier!)

The final list is, in random order:

Smith//Score
Approval with manual runoff
Smith//Approval (explicit - specified approval cutoff)
Schwartz-Woodall
Copeland//Borda (also called Ranked Robin)
MinMax(wv)
Double Defeat, Hare
Plurality
Majority Judgement (as a category; includes usual judgement etc.)
IRV
Max Strength Transitive Beatpath
STAR
Woodall
Schulze
Baldwin
Black
Approval
Benham
Margins-Sorted Minimum Losing Votes (equal-rated whole)
Gross Loser Elimination
Smith//DAC
RCIPE
RP(wv)
Smith//Approval (implicit - of all ranked)
Margins-Sorted Approval

In addition, the shorthand category
    "Condorcet-IRV"
corresponds to including (or equal-ranking) all of Benham, Woodall, and 
Schwartz-Woodall.
