As a newbie in this list, I have no preference about the best voting method. I am aware that instinctively Condorcet criterion is desirable if consensus does not exist, but approval or range can produce good results too. <br>
<br>However, based in Bucklin experiences in USA, I think that any method that violates later-no-harm (except asset voting) is likely to provide incentive to bullet vote and became a costly version of plurality. If later-no-harm is indispensable for a transitional method, MMPO seems the best alternative because it is nearly Condorcet-efficient and still easy to understand.
<br><br>After people be accustomed with multi-option voting, and depending of the detected flaws, other method may be considered, like SSD. (This thought does not violate my previous opinion about advantages of Improved Approval Runoff in low-knowledge populations).
