<div>I was also thinking of another approval with poll method.<br>
<br>
1) Assume all candidates have equal chance of winning(this is 'poll' 1).<br>
<br>
2) Set threshold to expected utility of election for each voter<br>
<br>
3) Run the poll with only 50 voters<br>
<br>
4) Assume all candidates have a chance of winning based on number of wins <br>
in all poll runs<br>
<br>
5) <span class="correction" id="">goto</span> 2 (maybe do 10 cycles)<br>
<br>
6) Run main election using expected utility from all the polls<br>
<br>
This should <span class="correction" id="">stabilise</span> on 1 candidate in the limit.<br>
