On Election Day, November 6, 2012, the Politics and Electoral Reform Working Group of [[W:Occupy Wall Street|Occupy Wall Street]] conducted an experimental survey in New York City to investigate how voters behave under four different voting methods: [[First Past the Post electoral system|Plurality voting]], [[Approval voting]], [[Score voting]] (0-5), and [[Instant-runoff voting|Instant-Runoff Voting]] (with top-3 ballots).<ref name=":1">https://electology.org/podcasts/2013-05-27_tj_frawls</ref>
They polled over 300 voters using custom software on ipads in Manhattan's left-leaning 69th Assembly District. ▼
They first polled about 320 people at Occupy protest sites and events to test the software and people's reactions.<ref name=":1" />
▲== Preliminary test poll ==
No adjustment was made to correct for the unrepresentativeness of the district; it was just to compare voting behavior under different systems.<ref name=":0">https://electology.org/podcasts/2012-08-20_tj_rawls</ref>
The votes were tallied by hand, and it was much easier to tally the Approval and Score votes than the Instant-Runoff votes (which took 13 rounds).<ref name=":0" />
