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.
They polled over 300 voters using custom software on ipads in Manhattan's left-leaning 69th Assembly District.

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" />
