3-2-1 voting: Difference between revisions

(→‎Delegated 3-2-1: Added additional clarification between “ratings” from voters and “pre-ratings” from candidates.)
(→‎Footnote ¹: Blank ratings: The description of the tally was changed in a previous edit that removed “steps”. I updated this paragraph to match that change. I also changed Amy to Dana so the names of the 2 candidates don’t start with the same letter.)
Line 25: Line 25:
In this method, each candidate can pre-rate other candidates "OK", "conditionally OK", or "bad". If they do not explicitly pre-rate, they are considered to pre-rate all others "conditionally OK". Once all pre-ratings have been submitted, all "conditionally OK" pre-ratings are turned to "Bad" if the pre-rating coming from the other candidate is "Bad", and to "OK" otherwise. For example, if candidate A pre-rates candidate B "conditionally OK" and B pre-rates A "bad", A's pre-rating of B turns to "bad"; if A pre-rates B "conditionally OK" and B pre-rates A "OK" or "conditionally OK", A's pre-rating of B turns to "OK". Candidate pre-ratings are public information.

When a voter leaves a candidate X blank/unrated, and rates exactly one other candidate Y as "Good", that counts as rating X as "OK" if Y pre-rated X "OK". Otherwise, it counts as rating X "Bad". Implicit OKs in this sense are counted as lower than explicit OKs in step 3.

For example, if I rated only Aurelio "good" and left Beth and Chung blank; and Aurelio pre-rated Beth as "OK" and Chung as "Bad", then I'd count as giving those ratings. If I'd also rated Amy "good", then my blank rating for Beth would count as "bad", no matter what Amy and Aurelio said.
