Each voter has 100 points to distribute among the candidates according to his preferences.
# The point for each candidate are summed and the one with the lowest sum is eliminated.

===Resistance to tactical votes===
In the Distributed Voting, given an honest vote with this distribution of points [50 30 15 5 0], a tactical vote generally takes the following form [90 6 3 1 0].
* If the first candidate to be eliminated were the first (the one with the most points), the two votes would both become like this [60 30 10 0], so the tactical vote would disappear.
* If instead the second and third candidates were eliminated, the two votes would become [91 9 0] (honest) and [99 1 0] (tactical). They are different but they are very similar, comparing them to their initial state.
In the Distributed Vote it's valid that, during the counting, the more points are redistributed after the elimination of the worst candidate, the more the votes become honest.
===Fractional seats - Suitable for Web===
If the seats had fractional value (instead of unitary), in addition to determining the winning candidates, the voting method should also determine the % of victory of the winning candidates. In the Distributed Voting the % of victory are already indicated by the sum of the points of the winning candidates, remaining at the end of the counting.
Eg: a streamer wants to talk about 3 topics in a 4-hour live, chosen by his supporters through a poll. With Distributed Voting the 3 winning arguments A,B,C would also have associated the % of victory: A[50%] B[26%] C[24%]. These % indicate to the streamer that he must devote 2 hours to topic A, and 1 hour to topics B and C. Without these %, the streamer would have mistakenly spent 1 hour and 20 min for each of the topics.
Eg: on a crowdfunding platform, fans can have a different weight in the vote, based on how much money they have donated. In Distributed Voting you can manage directly this difference in power by assigning fans different amounts of points to distribute.
===Simplified voting writing===
Line 111 ⟶ 123:
The complexity in writing the vote adapts to the voter, and it’s also noted that, if 101 or 99 points are mistakenly distributed, the vote will still be valid.
In the last example they are set to 1, the decimal values which should be less than 1, and the remaining points are divided proportionally among the other candidates (it serves to prevent
===About
Examples where the 100 points are distributed exponentially:
By "equal vote" or "Equality" means "one person, one vote (100 points)".▼
100 → it's like [[IRV]]
99,1 → it's like [[IRV]]
90,9,1 → it's a bit different from [[IRV]]
70,24,5,1 → it's different from [[IRV]]
60,27,9,3,1 → it's very different from [[IRV]]
By distributing points between 3 or more candidates, the Distributed Voting becomes increasingly different from the IRV, because of normalization in the counting.
===About Equality===
* In the Distributed Voting the voters at the beginning all have 100 points to distribute according to their preferences, therefore Equality is satisfied.
