<div dir="ltr">How about something like this:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Voters indicate whether they Prefer, Accept, or
Reject each candidate.</div>
<div>2. Identify the candidate with the most Prefer votes,
call them P.</div>
<div>3. Identify the candidate with the most
Accept-or-better votes, call them Q.</div>
<div>4. Elect the head-to-head winner between P and Q.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For step 4, this means to count the number of ballots
which rate P ahead of Q, and vice versa, and elect
whichever is higher up on more ballots.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Essentially, this method looks at the ballots and
says, “We know who the most voters prefer, and we know
who the most voters accept, but which of them should
win? Hey, I know, we can let the votes decide!”</div>
