<div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">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.</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">Toby</div><div><br></div>
